Saint Keiran's Church exhibits many features which are typical of Church of Ireland churches which were built at the turn of the eighteenth century in Ireland, with funds from the Board of First Fruits. The simple architectural form of the building is articulated with limestone dressings, such as the string courses, pinnacles and surrounds to the openings. The setting of the church is enhanced by many of the carved stone grave markers to the site.
