This former Church of Ireland church is situated within its own grounds. All that remains is a pinnacled tower and gabled elevation. The ruinous monument retains much of its former character and is a testament to what once must have been a fine building. Within the grounds, yew trees are situated between recumbent and standing grave markers, one of which dates to 1805, suggesting that existing church was built on the site of a predecessor.
