Very few historical sources exist about this church, built in the eleventh century. The monument has been badly damaged and its entire structure has collapsed; only one corner of a wall remains standing, probably atop a mound of earth and stone covering the monument's remains. The surviving decorative elements consist of a thick semicircular arch and a capital resting on a pair of columns.
