" That understated observation is, in a way, the whole story of this place. What remains today is an L-shaped footprint on a rock outcrop in the low-lying semi-karst pastureland of County Clare, karst being the distinctive limestone landscape of fissured rock and thin soils that shapes so much of this part of Ireland. Most of the structure has long since collapsed into rubble, and ivy has done the rest.

The church is known from Robinson's 1977 map as Cill Taice, indicating an Early Christian foundation, though the precise origins are unrecorded. Its dimensions, roughly nine metres north to south and just over five metres east to west, suggest a modest single-cell building, later extended or altered into its L-shaped plan. What still stands is the eastern wall, around eight metres long and reaching a maximum height of three metres, with a square-headed window still visible within it. The east end of the northern wall survives to about four metres. Both are heavily draped in ivy and banked with fallen rubble on either side. The foundations of the remaining walls can be traced, but the interior is thoroughly overgrown. The church sits in the north-western corner of an associated graveyard, itself still present on the same site. A local tradition recorded by F. Brew in a 1998 parish history holds that a road once ran from this church to a holy well located roughly 355 metres to the south-west, suggesting the two sites were once part of the same devotional landscape, linked by foot traffic that has since entirely disappeared from the ground.
