The church has undergone several transformations over the centuries; records from 1622 mention restoration work being carried out, whilst a more substantial renovation took place around 1830. The round-headed windows that punctuate its walls likely date from this later period, though closer inspection of the north wall reveals something much older: the splayed openings and segmental rear-arches of two blocked-up windows, probably original features from the church’s earliest incarnation.

The surrounding graveyard holds its own curiosity in the form of a weathered carved head set into the east face of the north gatepost. This corbel-like sculpture displays a pointed oval face, now damaged particularly around the mouth, from which stylised foliage appears to project on either side. Its age remains a mystery, though its placement at the entrance to this sacred ground suggests it once held significant meaning for those who passed beneath it.

Local tradition speaks of early cross-slabs and a holy well somewhere in the vicinity, though these have proved elusive to modern archaeological surveys. What remains visible today; the church with its mix of medieval and Georgian features, the enigmatic carved head, and the peaceful graveyard; offers a tangible connection to centuries of worship and community life in this corner of Donegal. The site was documented as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal in 1983, ensuring that even the most subtle traces of its long history have been preserved for future generations to discover.
