The structure, catalogued as DG107-058 by archaeological surveyors, measures approximately 19 metres by 9 metres internally, with walls about a metre thick. Today, only the lower courses of these walls remain visible, offering little in the way of distinguishable architectural features; the centuries have not been kind to this forgotten place of worship.

What makes this site particularly poignant is its continued use as a burial ground with a rather specific, and somewhat heartbreaking, purpose. When folklorist Énrí Ó Muirgheasa visited in 1936, he noted that the graveyard had become a cillín, a type of burial ground traditionally reserved for unbaptised children. These liminal spaces, found throughout Ireland, served communities who needed somewhere to lay to rest those who, according to Catholic doctrine of the time, could not be buried in consecrated ground.

The church ruins were documented as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, a comprehensive cataloguing effort undertaken by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. Their work, which surveyed field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, helps preserve the memory of sites like this one; places that might otherwise fade entirely from local knowledge as nature gradually reclaims the stones and memories alike.
