The rectangular stone church, measuring approximately 18.9 metres by 5.45 metres internally, represents a 17th-century renovation of an earlier medieval structure, completed around 1622. The building continued serving its congregation through further repairs between 1729 and 1733, finally closing its doors when a new parish church was constructed around 1840. When the antiquarian Fagan visited in 1845, he noted the slated roof was still intact, though today only the walls remain standing at their full height, topped by a distinctive bellcote on the western gable.

The church’s architecture tells a story of adaptation and practical modification over time. Medieval single-light windows, evidenced by surviving jambs and sills in the south wall, were enlarged during later renovations to create the current openings with splayed ingoings, though many have since lost their heads and rear-arches. The eastern window, now shrouded in ivy, retains its splayed ingoings and rear-arch, whilst three windows on the north wall have been blocked up entirely. Inside, traces of two coats of plaster cling to the walls, and the exterior once featured protective harling. At the foot of the western gable’s exterior, a rubble block bears the grooved outlines of three crosses, adding another layer to the site’s religious significance.

The church sits within a graveyard that remains in active use, positioned on fertile land near a sharp bend in the River Swilly. Just outside the eastern wall of the graveyard, beside a stream, lies a curious boulder measuring 75cm by 50cm by 35cm, featuring a basin 20cm in diameter and 13cm deep. Local folk tradition persists here; when archaeologists visited, they found a thorn tree beside the boulder decorated with rags, a practice often associated with holy wells and healing sites in Irish tradition. Though Ordnance Survey maps from the 19th century marked a holy well near this boulder, no trace of it remains today.
