No walls, no doorway, no fragment of dressed stone announces itself to a visitor. What remains is essentially a location, a spot of ground where a building once stood, now absorbed back into the churchyard around it.

The church was built in the seventeenth century by R. Boyle, almost certainly a member of the Boyle family whose influence across Munster during that period was considerable, most famously through Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, who accumulated vast landholdings in the region and was responsible for planting a number of settlements and ecclesiastical buildings across the province. That earlier structure was eventually superseded in 1818 by a Church of Ireland building on the same site, itself recorded separately. The replacement was part of a broader wave of church construction and renovation undertaken by the established church in the early nineteenth century, as older buildings were deemed inadequate or beyond repair. According to Webster, writing in 1932, the history of both structures was sufficiently notable to be recorded, but time and circumstance have ensured that the earlier church left nothing visible behind.
