The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on break in E-facing slope. Subrectangular graveyard (max. c. 85m WSW-ENE; max. c. 100m NNW-SSE) defined by scarp (H 1m) with slight internal lip S->NW; low bank with external scarp elsewhere (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.8m); gaps in bank to W, NE and S. Only gravemarkers are some low uninscribed stones at SE corner. Ruin of parish church of Dromdowney (14415) in SE quadrant. Sharp fall in ground just E of church; low E-W bank (H c. 0.5m; L 33.5m) to N of church, with gap (Wth 2.5m) in centre. Between SW corner of church and enclosing bank is subrectangular depression (8m N-S; 9m E-W; D c. 1m), lined with loose stones, open-ended to E; second larger, less well-defined depression SE of church. Four cairns, probably the result of field clearance, in NW quadrant.
