It is the east-north-east gable of an 18th-century church, and it is all that remains, yet it survives to its full original height, which lends the fragment a strange completeness. At 8.4 metres long and 0.8 metres thick, it is substantial enough to read as architecture rather than ruin, and it carries, at its centre, a window that repays close attention.

The window is two-centred, meaning its arch is formed from two curves meeting at a point, a Gothic form that by the 18th century had become somewhat retrospective in Irish ecclesiastical building. It is also transomed and mullioned, divided both horizontally by a transom and vertically by a mullion, giving it a gridded, formal character that would have been the visual focus of the church's interior. The masonry around it is roughly coursed, local stone laid with more pragmatism than precision, which makes the relative refinement of the window all the more noticeable. The gable is set within a graveyard that continues in use, so the wall stands among the more recent evidence of the community it once served.
