The church of Saint George stands on a wooded slope about nine hundred metres beyond the end of Kevliani village, on the left bank of the Tezami and the right bank of the Kviris Tskali. The hall of about six and a half metres by four and a half is laid of cobble, brick and worked shirimi on lime mortar, with walls a little over half a metre thick.
The building is badly damaged: the vault and the triumphal arch of the apse have collapsed entirely, and most of the vault and the south wall are lost as well. The entrance is on the south, right at the corner of the west wall.
The east and west facades each held a window: the lintel survives on the west, while the dressing of the east one has fallen away completely. The north wall is blind and no trace of a window shows on the surviving fragments of the south. A semicircular apse closes the east end with a niche under a semicircular arch in its northern part, the interior was plastered and fragments of the plaster survive. This is another church site in Kevliani.
