The remains are mostly limited to the west gable, which features a birdcage bellcote and a chamfered arched window that appears to include earlier work. There is also a stretch of wall that displays two marble tablets dedicated to the Duffs, dated 1735 and 1763. Additionally, the church houses a Jansen bell from 1644.
