The graveyard around it is subcircular in shape, roughly 41 metres east to west and 33 metres north to south, enclosed by a masonry wall. That rounded form is often a sign of considerable antiquity, since early medieval ecclesiastical enclosures in Ireland frequently followed a circular or oval layout before later, more geometric churchyard conventions took hold.

The church itself preserves only its foundation courses, with the outlines of a nave and a smaller chancel still legible on the ground. The arch that once divided them is gone, though the width of the opening, just under two metres, can still be traced. A single window opening survives near the east end of the north nave wall, a lintelled embrasure with a corbel, a projecting stone bracket, on its inner face. The dedication links this place to St. Damhán of Feamore in Old Leighlin, County Carlow, identified in scholarship by Pádraig Ó Riain as one of the brothers of St. Abán of Adamstown. That fraternal connection between saints of neighbouring counties suggests the site belongs to a web of early Irish monastic and familial relationships that extended well beyond any single locality. About 150 metres to the northwest lies the site of St Davin's Well, the anglicised name preserving a trace of Damhán, and such holy wells were typically inseparable from the cult of the saint to whom the church was dedicated.
