The west wall breaks off at the side of a window embrasure, and immediately behind it stands a monument to the Wrixon family, dated 1778, as if the masonry and the memorial had simply grown together over time. A low rubble foundation continues the line of the wall southward for another three metres, then stops; six metres further south the ground drops away altogether. The interior, such as it is, is crowded with eighteenth and nineteenth century funerary monuments and railed-in grave plots, the dead pressing in where the congregation once stood.

The church's documented history runs from at least 1291, when it appears in the Papal Taxation of that year, a medieval survey of ecclesiastical properties across Ireland used to assess contributions to Rome. By 1615 it was already recorded as being in ruins. The seventeenth century was not kind to it: a 1694 description notes that it had been much damaged during the Williamite wars, though it had since been repaired. It was described as being in repair again in 1774, and an account from 1815 mentions that a small spire had lately been added, suggesting some degree of ongoing investment in the fabric of the building even in its later years. That effort proved short-lived. In 1829 a new Church of Ireland building was erected immediately to the northeast, and the old structure was abandoned to the graveyard that had always surrounded it. By 1842, when the Ordnance Survey recorded it on their six-inch map, it was already shown as a ruinous rectangle, roughly fifteen metres along its long axis and six metres across.
