That name is, at this point, almost all that remains above ground to suggest what once stood here. The structure itself has been reduced to a single surviving corner and a scatter of lower courses so deeply embedded in grass and sod that the outline of the building is more inferred than seen. What can be measured suggests a rectangular church roughly 7.8 metres north to south and 16 metres east to west, dimensions typical of a modest medieval rural church, and yet almost nothing of the walls rises high enough to give a sense of enclosure.

What makes the site particularly interesting is the density of ecclesiastical remains in this one small townland. Kilkeeran contains not one but three church sites recorded in close proximity, pointing to a concentration of early Christian or medieval religious activity that was once far more substantial than the landscape now implies. The 1994 archaeological survey of the Ballinrobe district, which took in the areas around Lough Mask and Lough Carra, recorded this church alongside its two neighbours, preserving at least the outline of what had survived to that point. The field name 'Teampaleem' is the kind of local memory that persists long after masonry has disappeared into the earth, passed down through generations of farmers who knew the ground held something, even if they could not say exactly what.

The ruins sit in pasture, which means the site is likely grazed and the visible remains modest to the point of invisibility without some prior knowledge of where to look. The northeast corner is the most substantial surviving feature. The sod-covered lower courses would read to most eyes as little more than slight undulations in a field, which is precisely what makes the place quietly unusual: the name remembers a church that the ground has almost entirely reclaimed.
