The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

E window not extant and only foundation level of gable wall survives. E end of N wall has the remains of a splayed window which extends down close to ground level, and has a two-centred arch of greywacke with central keystone. The church is fifteenth- or sixteenth-century in date and the Visitation of 1692 states that it was in disrepair. (CLAJ 1919, 338; CLAJ 1944, 278).
