A large window in the E wall is robbed and all the cut stone has been removed. A drawbar socket on the E side of a doorway survives towards the W end of the S wall, and there is a plain aumbry towards the E and of the same wall. A circular granite font (ext. diam. 0.63m; int. diam. 0.45m; D 0.15m; ext. H 0.25m plus) is within the church.
