The ruins of this church, and the burial ground which encloses it, stand on a SE-facing slope 450m NNW of Kirkdale Mains farmsteading. The site is overgrown but the burial ground appears to be in occasional use, as there is one gravestone dated 1992.
The church measures 19.9m from E to W by 8.1m transversely within a mortared rubble wall 1.1m thick and up to 2.8m high on the N side, though less well-preserved elsewhere. Within its SE corner there is a later burial enclosure which measures 8.3m by 5.6m within walls 0.7m thick and 2m high. This enclosure has a lintelled doorway in its S side wall. To the W of the church there is a roofed burial vault.
