By 1622, this medieval church was already described as ‘ancient’ and ‘ruinated’, suggesting it had been out of use for some considerable time. The surviving structure, built from rubble masonry with small pinning stones, measures approximately 13 metres by 5.5 metres internally, though today only the east gable with its attached north return, the south wall, and a fragment of the west gable remain standing. The walls show clear evidence of fire damage, particularly on the inner face of the south wall where the stonework has spalled and cracked from intense heat.

The church’s medieval character is evident in its architectural details, particularly the deeply splayed windows that once illuminated the interior. The east gable, which rises to about 5 metres at its highest point, contains a central window built with small, horizontally laid stones; though its head and rear arch have long since collapsed, the opening measures just 21 centimetres wide. Below this window, traces of an earlier, smaller window suggest the gable once featured a symmetrical pair of openings, a common medieval arrangement. The south wall preserves evidence of both a similar splayed window at its eastern end and a doorway with splayed ingoings, above which a relieving arch indicates where a wooden lintel once supported the entrance.

The graveyard itself contains several intriguing early features that hint at the site’s long religious significance. A remarkable cross carved from a single stone slab stands 2.5 metres tall south of the church, its design featuring hollowed angles where the shaft meets the arms, each corner emphasised by small knob projections. Nearby, a standing stone rises 75 centimetres from the ground, which once supposedly supported the legendary ‘wishing stone of Mevagh’, now unfortunately lost. Perhaps most mysterious is an irregular stone lying near the church’s southwest corner, its upper surface marked with twenty-three distinct cup marks, each about 6 centimetres across and carved 1.5 centimetres deep into the stone; these enigmatic depressions may date from prehistoric times, suggesting the hilltop held sacred significance long before the medieval church was built.
