St Mary's Church stands immediately N of graveyard and is a ruinous drystone building c. 39' E-W by 19' with 3.5' thick walls reduced to an average height of 4'. S entrance is apparently the only one.

The building noted by RCAHMS as St Mary's Church is still known locally by that name, but does not appear to be a church. It is a ruinous blackhouse oriented N-S, one of a group forming the depopulated hamlet of Kilmory. RCAHMS's measurements are correct, but doorway is in centre of E wall. The walls stand to the wall head. There is no building in area oriented E-W and none that can be recognised as a church.
