Situated on a prominent rise above the surrounding countryside. This church is located in the NW corner of a walled graveyard. It was confirmed to the Abbey of St. Mary's in the early 13th century under the name of Killhunsin or the white church (Ball 1905, 64; O Conbhui 1963, 55, 64). It is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) map. Comprises a nave and a narrower chancel (nave, int. dims. L 9m, Wth 4.85m; chancel, int. dims. L 6.7m, Wth 3.9m). Built of randomly coursed granite masonry with gables that stand to full height. Entered through a round-arched doorway with chamfered jambs, in the W end of the N wall of the nave. The interior of the nave has two narrow slit opes and opens onto the chancel through a pointed segmental arch. There is a large plain rectangular opening in the E gable.
