Pitched tiled roof with sprocketed eaves, rendered chimneystack to extension, carved limestone cross finial to gable and some cast-iron rainwater goods.

Pointed-arched opening with timber traceried window, dressed stone surround, limestone sill and hoodmoulding to east gable. Pointed-arched door opening with dressed stone surround, hoodmoulding, replacement timber battened door and timber spoked fanlight. Timber pews to nave with balcony. Marble furniture to altar.

This simple Roman Catholic church, in the townland of Kilpatrick, displays some classic architectural features. Sprocketed eaves to roof, large pointed Y-tracery windows with stone hoodmouldings indixate that this structure belongs to the early nineteenth century. Maintained in good order and still providing an important social function for the residents of this parish, Saint Carthage's brings an important architectural character to the area.
