The site sits within an irregularly shaped graveyard that was enclosed sometime after 1839; the first edition Ordnance Survey map shows it as unenclosed. From this elevated position, extensive views open up to the north, and historical records dating back to the Down Survey of 1655-6 mark this spot with a symbol representing the church and its glebe lands.

The complex consists of a three-storey tower house attached to the western end of an east-west aligned church. The church itself reveals multiple building phases: a square chancel with a later nave that fills the space between the chancel and the residential tower. The nave, dating to the mid-18th century, originally featured four opposing lancet windows with brick jambs in the north and south walls, though the easternmost openings were later converted to brick-arched doorways with small windows above, then subsequently blocked. The church underwent restoration in 1818 but fell out of use later in the 19th century, with traces of a gallery still visible at the eastern end.

The residential tower, measuring 8.3 metres east-west by 6.6 metres north-south with walls over a metre thick, contains fascinating defensive and domestic features. A doorway near the northwest angle of the nave provides access, with a mural stair rising through the eastern wall. The ground floor features windows in the south and west walls, whilst the first floor boasts a two-light elliptical-headed window with external hood moulding in the north wall. Above the entrance lobby, a murder hole speaks to the building’s defensive purpose. The upper floors contained windows in each wall, many now blocked, along with inserted fireplaces and a small wall cupboard on the second floor. The western gable survives with remains of a single bell-cote, and the parapet walls project internally along the north and south sides, creating a distinctive architectural profile that has endured through centuries of modification and adaptation.
