The site, positioned on level ground east of Finner Hill and not far from the sea, tells a story of religious continuity spanning centuries. Records indicate that a chapel-of-ease served the local community here as early as 1600, and the church remained in active use well into the 19th century, appearing on the first edition Ordnance Survey maps of 1835-6 before falling into ruin by mid-century.

The surviving ruins, measuring just over 16 metres long internally, reveal a building that evolved over time. The western portion, roughly 12 metres in length, appears to be the older section, identifiable by the distinctive batter at the base of its north and south walls. This earlier church was later extended eastward, with the junction between old and new work still clearly visible in the exterior stonework. The eastern gable features a large central window with a round-headed brick arch; the notably small size of the bricks suggests this extension dates to the 17th century, possibly coinciding with the chapel’s documented presence in 1600.

Today, ivy cloaks the rubble walls that still stand three to four metres high in places, though time has taken its toll on the structure. The northwest corner has vanished entirely, whilst large gaps have opened in the western half of the south wall. At some point, cross walls were inserted to create a burial enclosure within the central section of the church, a common practice when churches fell out of regular use. The whole site is now enclosed by a modern stone wall, preserving this modest but historically significant remnant of Donegal’s ecclesiastical heritage within its distinctive semicircular boundary.
