That single detail says a great deal about how sacred spaces are repurposed when a congregation moves on. The north wall of the nave now rises to five metres, dwarfing the ivy-covered remnants of the original structure around it, which survive only to between roughly two and two and a half metres. It sits on flat, low-lying ground about four hundred metres from the western shore of the South Slob, the reclaimed wetland that fringes Wexford harbour, and the whole ensemble, roofless church, earthen-banked graveyard, improvised sports wall, has a quietly incongruous quality.

The church was dedicated to St Kevin, a detail recorded by a writer named Synnott around 1680 and cited in Hore's 1921 publication. The building follows the standard medieval Irish plan of nave and chancel, the two chambers separated by a round chancel arch, two metres wide and built entirely of undressed stone, meaning the stones were laid without being cut or shaped to fit. A gallery once occupied the western end of the nave, carried on corbels, which are projecting stone brackets set into the wall; most of those corbels are now gone. Opposing doorways face each other near the western end of the nave, and there are small single-light windows toward the eastern end, though the one on the north side has been blocked. Almost all the stonework is undressed, with the sole exception of the round-headed window in the south nave wall. Inside, a rectangular granite font survives, measuring roughly sixty-eight by sixty-three centimetres externally, and still sitting in the nave. The east window of the chancel has been robbed out entirely, its dressed stone carried off for use elsewhere, though a niche on the north side of the chancel remains. About seventy metres to the east-south-east lies a separate mound site, its relationship to the church unspecified but its proximity suggestive of a longer history of activity on this patch of ground.
