Sometimes referred to as Rathdrummin and consisting of a three-storeyed square tower with small portions of S and N walls of nave adjoining. Walls of nave (T 0.6m) are plastered inside. Doorway in W wall situated at the W end of the church. The doorway has a moulded frame and flattened arch, while the windows have hood mouldings with plain bevels. The ringing stage has four opes with pointed arches and small drip mouldings. Davies (CLAJ 1944, 292) suggests that the church may date from 1692; however, a much later date might be more acceptable. The present remains have no obvious medieval features. (CLAJ 1944, 292)
