A well-detailed mid-nineteenth century Roman Catholic church, extended to the south in the twentieth century. Its form and detailing mark a progression from the basic barn or T-plan church types of the early part of the century. The muted Gothic Revival detailing of the cut stone opening surrounds compliment the cut-stone barges and finials. The ornamental belfry, probably by the foundry of Matthew O'Byrne of James's Street in Dublin, is a feature of contemporary Catholic churches, as bell towers had been the privilege of the established church until Disestablishment in 1870. The church is prominently sited at a crossroads where it has become the focal point of a small 'chapel village'.
