When modern paths were cut through the south-western corner of the adjacent graveyard, quantities of oyster shells came to light, suggesting that the people who once gathered here were also, at some point, eating shellfish in significant numbers. Whether these represent middens, ritual deposits, or the remnants of more practical activity is not recorded, but their presence in a churchyard setting gives the site an unexpectedly domestic, even industrial, character.

The church itself survives only as a fragment on a south-facing slope above the estuary of the Dunkellin River, with the settlement known as Weir Village visible to the south-west. The graveyard, roughly L-shaped in plan, still contains the west gable of the church, which has an internal width of 4.8 metres, along with short returns of the north and south side-walls extending just 2.2 metres and 1.7 metres respectively. No architectural features remain legible, no windows, doorways, or carved stonework, so neither a construction date nor a dedication can be read from the fabric. The site was noted by McCaffrey in 1952, but even then the remains were described as very poorly preserved.

The location itself does some of the interpretive work. Estuary margins in the west of Ireland were long associated with both ecclesiastical settlement and the harvesting of shellfish, and the Dunkellin estuary would have provided ready access to oyster beds. The shell accumulations, modest as they may seem, quietly connect this overgrown corner of a Galway graveyard to a broader pattern of coastal life that predates any surviving documentation.
