H 2.5m) with its N face missing and a very small portion of the base of the W wall can be seen above ground level. Church is built with rubble limestone roughly coursed and the N wall has a line of three rectangular shaped opes (c. 0.3m by 0.4m) set at the same height. These appear to be later insertions.
