Built or substantially rebuilt after 1622, this rubble-walled church continued welcoming worshippers until St Paul’s was constructed in 1805. The structure, measuring 14.6 by 5.9 metres internally, has survived with its walls standing to full height; a testament to the quality of its construction with ashlar quoins adorning the southwest and northwest corners. Several architectural elements hint at an even older history, including punch-dressed blocks and a pointed doorway with stop-chamfered jambs in the western gable, likely salvaged from an earlier medieval church that once stood on this spot.

The church’s southern wall features four round-headed windows with splayed ingoings, whilst a larger blocked window occupies the eastern gable. Evidence of two more sealed windows can be traced along the northern wall, suggesting various phases of alteration over the centuries. Inside, the Office of Public Works has erected an ancient high cross against the north wall and carefully flush-pointed the masonry during conservation work. The western gable once displayed an 18th-century memorial to the Olphert family, installed in 1754, though only broken fragments of its columns and moulded frame remain, cemented rather unceremoniously to the window sills.

The surrounding graveyard holds its own archaeological treasures, including a substantial bullaun stone situated eight metres west of the church’s southwest corner. This flat, subrectangular basin stone measures 80 by 85 centimetres and features a carved depression 64 centimetres in diameter; likely used for grinding grain or perhaps holding holy water in the site’s early Christian period. In the graveyard’s northeast corner stands an imposing stone pillar, rising 2.1 metres high and oriented north to south. Local tradition, recorded by the scholar O’Donovan, identifies this as the location of Rath Finan, an early ecclesiastical settlement that may have occupied this atmospheric spot centuries before the present church was built.
