It is an ogee-headed light, meaning its opening would once have been framed by a double S-curved arch, the kind of decorative stonework that marked out a church of some ambition in the late medieval period. That it now simply rests on a wall rather than filling it tells you something about the long, slow decline of the building it once adorned.

The church itself, dedicated to St. Nicholas and recorded under the national monument reference LI031-038005-, stands as a ruin in the north-western quadrant of a sub-rectangular graveyard measuring approximately 34 metres north to south and 51 metres east to west. The enclosing stone wall dates to after 1700, and the northern wall of the church sits so close to the northern boundary wall of the graveyard that the two are almost touching. Most of the surviving memorials are concentrated to the south and south-east of the church, a pattern common in Irish graveyards where the southern aspect, considered more favourable, attracted later and more formal burials. The site was documented and revised by Caimin O'Brien, with the record updated in June 2019.

The graveyard is entered from the west via a stile in the boundary wall, the kind of narrow stone step-over that discourages anything larger than a person on foot. Visitors should look carefully at the top of the northern wall, where the window head sits in plain view, easy to overlook if you are focused on the church ruin itself. The church interior and the ground around it repay a slow circuit; the proximity of the northern walls to one another means the space feels compressed on that side, almost as if the building is being quietly absorbed back into the boundary it was built beside.
