This rubble-built structure, measuring approximately 19 metres by 9 metres internally, now exists only as a series of low stone walls rising about a metre from the ground. The walls themselves, roughly a metre thick, hint at what was once a substantial building, though centuries of neglect have left the ruins heavily obscured by overgrowth and collapsed masonry.

The church’s current state makes it difficult to discern any architectural features that might help date the structure or reveal details about its original purpose and design. What remains is essentially the footprint of the building; its lower courses of stonework tracing out the rectangular plan typical of many rural Irish churches. The fallen stones scattered throughout the site suggest that the walls once stood considerably higher, but time and the elements have reduced them to their current humble state.

These ruins form part of County Donegal’s rich archaeological landscape, documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. The survey, which catalogues field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, provides valuable insights into sites like this one that might otherwise be forgotten, consumed by the relentless growth of ivy and brambles that characterise so many of Ireland’s abandoned ecclesiastical sites.
