Steeply-pitched artificial slate roof, synthetic ridge tiles, limestone ashlar fractables to gable ends surmounted by stone Celtic cross, terminating with skew corbels at eaves level, roll-moulded limestone eaves course, replacement rainwater goods. Random rough-hewn limestone walling with cement pointing with tooled limestone ashlar quoins to corners, double-splayed tooled limestone ashlar plinth course, roll-moulded limestone string course below sill level to front gable returning to both side elevations, single trefoil-headed lancet window opening with hood moulding to front gable, three trefoil-headed lancet window openings to rear gable, chamfered limestone ashlar block-and-start reveals and chamfered sill. Leaded glass windows.
A simple stone chapel, forming part of a mortuary complex, executed in a restrained Gothic idiom displaying excellent masonry craftsmanship and retaining all its exterior features except the roof materials and rainwater goods. This mortuary complex further enhances the architectural interest of the St. Fintan's hospital complex.
