| Description POSI | Church has ashlar sandstone blocks nicely cut but rather oddly laid with poor alignment, as if they have been reused. Marble lintel and doorway corbels on West and marble lintel on N door are clearly reused. Very worn cross with crosslets on block at E end. Ancient column and non-fitting capital by metal frame belltower. Iconostasis is 1927; no older features or frescoes apparent inside. There are a few sherds and round tile fragments to the north of the yard. There is one threshing floor with large river stones immediately north of the church along the spur; not in good condition. A second threshing floor is laid of smaller stones on a deep cut terrace on the east-facing slope of the spur. |
| Condition | Church is thoroughly though not sympathetically renovated. First threshing floor is overgrown and disturbed; second threshing floor is exposed and kept clean, with a threshing machine on it. |
