The walls have sunk so far into the ground, and been so thoroughly colonised by grass, that the building now reads more as a series of low ridges than a structure. The highest of these barely clears half a metre, yet the footprint, roughly 14 metres east to west and just under 6 metres north to south, is clear enough to give a sense of what once stood here, set into a gentle south-easterly slope with the River Suir moving through the flat ground somewhere between 300 and 700 metres to the south and west.

The church sits in the southern part of an oval graveyard, the oval shape itself a form often associated with early ecclesiastical enclosures in Ireland. Scholars disagree about its precise origins. Ó Cearbhaill, writing in 2010, connects the site to a monastic foundation associated with St. Abban in 1218, while Gwynn and Hadcock, in their 1988 survey of medieval religious houses, attribute that foundation instead to the nearby site at Rathcoun. What the fabric of the building itself suggests is a structure with more than one phase of construction. Along the south wall, a short exposed section of walling, just 1.8 metres long and 0.6 metres high, shows a sandstone foundation beneath three rough courses of limestone rubble, bonded with a mortar mixed with small pebbles. Crucially, this section is not keyed into the sandstone blocks on either side, meaning it was inserted rather than built continuously with the original fabric. The entrance has vanished entirely beneath rubble and turf, though it was most likely at the western end of the north wall, as was conventional in Irish medieval church architecture. The interior holds a scatter of loose stones, some collapsed from the walls, others probably deposited during later clearing of surrounding fields.
