Medieval church (RCAHMS suggest a 14th century date; W D Simpson a 12th-13th century one) which fell in to ruin and was restored/re-roofed under supervision of James S Richardson, 1911-12. Rectangular-plan; but at east end, sharing wall-plan of gable, a little lean-to on each flank - that to north an intercommunicating sacristy, that to south a chapel with its own entrance door on its west wall (Simpson drew parallels with the plan of Norse buildings such as Gardar).
Rubble-built with ashlar dressings, many of the latter replacements by Richardson, including those at the entrance door. Single light in each gable. Slate roofs (of the type used at Rodel). Set in little kirkyard, enclosed by plain rubble dyke; also revivalist tall Celtic cross of St John's Iona type.
1631 bell (said to have originally been the old Stornoway kirk bell) and other artefacts associated with this building now in Episcopal church, Stornoway. Ecclesiastical building in infrequent ecclesiastical use.
