The wall foundations survive to just 0.73 metres in height, and the only architectural detail that survives with any clarity is the lower jamb of a doorway in the north wall, cut from chamfered rebated limestone. A chamfered rebate is a small but deliberate refinement, a stepped and angled cut in the stonework designed to receive a door frame snugly, suggesting that whoever built this church had at least some access to skilled stone-working. Everything above that jamb is gone.

By the time anyone from the Church of Ireland came to inspect it formally, the building was already a ruin. The Royal Visitation of 1615 recorded the structure simply as a "church and chancell downe", meaning both the nave and the chancel had collapsed. The site sits on an east-facing slope just below a hilltop, with a separate enclosure site lying to the north-east, suggesting this corner of Tipperary was a place of some significance over a long period. Whether the church predated that enclosure or the two were connected in some way, the surviving fabric is too fragmentary to say.
