The church itself is modest by any measure, roughly 10.7 metres long and 5 metres wide, oriented east to west in the traditional manner. Its west gable still holds a straight-sided doorway, and portions of a plain chancel arch of three orders survive, the arch dividing the nave from the chancel in the way that would once have separated the congregation from the area reserved for clergy and liturgy. What makes the site feel layered, even cluttered with significance, is what surrounds it: a bullaun stone sits just 5 metres to the north-west, and a children's burial ground extends to the south and east.

The bullaun, a boulder bearing one or more cup-shaped depressions ground into its surface, is a feature associated with early Christian and pre-Christian practice across Ireland, used variously for grinding, ritual, or votive purposes, and often found near early church sites. The children's burial ground is a cillín, the term used for informal or unconsecrated burial grounds where unbaptised infants were interred, usually on the margins of consecrated land. The presence of both, clustered so close to the church ruin, suggests that this was a site of continuous local significance across many centuries, long after formal ecclesiastical use had ended. References in mid-twentieth century sources, including Killanin's 1947 work and a 1967 guide by Killanin and Duignan, confirm that the site was known and documented well before the systematic archaeological surveys of later decades.
