On the N side of a road, in Fossa village. A cruciform church (long axis E-W) with transepts towards the E end. The church is lit by pointed windows. An entrance porch has been added to the W end of the S wall. There are brick corner buttresses at the W end and a limestone bellcote on top of the W gable. Indicated as a T-shaped structure on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 128) refers to it as a 'chapel of ease' for the parish of Aghadoe. Currently in use as community centre. Inside the church in the E wall of the N transept is a piscina (KE066-021----) which was moved to here from Killalee church (KE066-008----) in 1921.
