What was once a place of worship for the local community underwent a significant transformation in the early 18th century, when the Fergusson family claimed the eastern end of the building as their private burial plot. They railed off this section and reduced the church walls to a uniform height of about 3 metres, capping them neatly and covering the exterior with harling; a rough lime plaster that still clings to the ancient stonework today.

The church’s footprint reveals its simple rectangular plan, measuring 5.6 metres wide and 18.5 metres long internally, though time has not been kind to the western half. While the south wall remains intact along its full length, the western portion of the north wall has vanished entirely, leaving only foundation traces to hint at where the west gable once stood. A blocked doorway in the north wall, fitted with a stone lintel, likely dates from the Fergusson conversion rather than the church’s original construction; it would have provided convenient access to their burial enclosure.

The most striking architectural feature is the blocked two light window in the east gable, a 16th century addition that speaks to the church’s medieval modifications. Its stone transom and central mullion remain intact, though the upper portion was truncated when the Fergussons lowered the gable height. At the western end of the south wall, a narrow lintelled window with an internal splay offers another glimpse of the building’s ecclesiastical past. Inside, the walls serve as a canvas for centuries of memorial inscriptions, transforming this ruin into an open air chronicle of local families and their enduring connection to this sacred ground.
