The monument comprises the remains of a church, probably dating to the medieval period. The church is situated on the south-facing side of the ridge, slightly below the top. The church measures c. 23.5m by 6m. The walls are c. 0.5m-0.70m thick and stand to varying heights. It consists of a rectangular nave, chancel and later south porch, all constructed of stone rubble. The piscine still survives in the south door.
