This Church of Ireland church was composed in the traditional manner of a small rural church, having a simple rectangular nave on an east-west orientation. The building retains historic features, such as the bell-cote, traceried windows and slate roof, all of which enhance its character and appearance. The graveyards and enclosing boundary wall complete the setting. The ruin of an earlier church adds archaeological significance to the site.
