A large D-shaped enclosure, roughly 70 metres by 75 metres, still holds a fragment of medieval masonry at its centre, a small portion of a south wall that is all that remains of a church once substantial enough to attract official praise. The enclosing stone wall, built after 1700, was constructed in part using salvaged material from the very building it surrounds, so the boundary of the graveyard is itself composed of the church it replaced.

The site sits on a south-facing upland slope, with a motte to the west, the kind of earthen castle mound introduced by the Normans in the twelfth century. The church was listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302, and by 1615 a Royal Visitation recorded it as having 'a good church, a good chancell', suggesting it was in reasonable repair at that point. Sometime after 1700 the building fell away entirely, and its stones were incorporated into the graveyard wall now visible. In 1932, local men uncovered a sheela-na-gig in the north-east corner of the ruined church. A sheela-na-gig is a carved stone figure, typically female and explicit in form, found on medieval churches and castles across Ireland and Britain; their purpose remains debated. This one is now held at the National Museum. A broken graveslab, possibly medieval, was noted in the mid-twentieth century bearing a Latin inscription for a member of the Uí Briain family: 'Hic jacet Donatus Dermitius als Bryn de Gortmore'. Its current location within the graveyard has not been established, and it may simply be lost among the later memorials. The graveyard itself remains in active use.
