Historical records suggest this was actually a chapel of ease serving Clondahorky parish, likely abandoned after a new church was constructed at Ballymore in 1752. The building’s rubble walls, measuring roughly 12 metres by 4 metres internally, tell a story of gradual decay; only the lower courses of the eastern wall and part of the southern wall remain standing to any significant height.

The architectural details that survive offer glimpses into the church’s original form. The southern wall, rising to about 2.5 metres, features a splayed window with a segment-headed rear arch, whilst the northern wall contains similar window openings, with one complete example and the remains of another to the east. The western entrance preserves evidence of its original timber door frame within its splayed opening. A memorial stone dated 1679, once recorded as being attached to the inner face of the southern wall, confirms the church was still in use during the late 17th century, aligning with the architectural style of the windows and overall plan.

Today, an overgrown graveyard surrounds the ruins, its boundary wall actually overlying and replacing portions of the church’s northern wall at the northeastern corner. This quiet spot represents a common pattern in Irish ecclesiastical history, where smaller chapels served outlying communities before improved transport and changing settlement patterns led to their abandonment in favour of more centrally located churches. The site offers a tangible connection to the religious life of rural Donegal during the turbulent 17th and early 18th centuries.
