Built of limestone blocks, boulders and greywacke (int. dims. 13m E-W, 5m N-S). Double wall at W gable, the outer one being 0.5m thick and the inner one 0.7m. E window not extant and only foundation level of gable wall survives. E end of N wall has the remains of a splayed window which extends down close to ground level, and has a two-centred arch of greywacke with central keystone. The church is fifteenth- or sixteenth-century in date and the Visitation of 1692 states that it was in disrepair. (CLAJ 1919, 338; CLAJ 1944, 278).
