Description
Freestanding former Church of Ireland church, built 1792, now in ruins and roofless. Three-bay nave, with square-plan three-stage tower to west. Roughcast rendered rubble limestone walls. Triple-lancet windows to south wall and blocked square-headed window openings to north wall, with brick voussoirs.

Pair of square-profile rubble sandstone piers with cast-iron gates. Rubble sandstone boundary walls to site.
Appraisal
Built in a simple Board of First Fruits style, this church substantially retains its original appearance including an elegant tower with skillfully carved limestone doorcase. The site includes a graveyard with some ornate grave markers and tombs, the earliest date from the beginning of the nineteenth century.
