All that remains of the church is the complete S gable, 4.1m internal length and 0.7m thick. It is constructed of uncoursed masonary with rubble infilling, and contains a splayed window aperture with square stone lintel and relieving arch above. According to Rev. Taylor (Information from Rev A H S Taylor, The Manse, Aberlour, Banffshire), it is dedicated to St Duston, but this is an erroneous derivation of St. Durstan. The graveyard is still used.

Revised at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (N K B) 30 January 1967.
