Situated on the crest of a ridge running E-W with gently sloping ground to the N and S. Rectangular structure (dims. 11m E-W; 7m N-S) of uncoursed mortared rubble (T 1m; H 1.2-1.5m). No indication of door or window positions. It is in the centre of a rectangular graveyard defined by stone walls. There is no trace of the church marked on the OS 6-inch maps in the separately walled graveyard to the E.
