The National Monuments Service's description
Roadside; on gentle W-facing slope, commanding extensive view to W and NW across River Lee. Roughly rectangular graveyard (max. L c. 60m NNW-SSE;max. Wth c. 50m ENE-WSW) enclosed by stone wall; entrance in S wall at W end. Raised arc of ringfort (CO082-021002-) at N end. Headstones within ringfort area date from 18th century, while those to S date from 19th century; uninscribed grave-markers found in both areas; still in use. Enclosing wall of S half clearly later than wall to N, indicating that S part of graveyard is an extension. Also in ringfort are fragmentary remains of C of I church (CO082-021004-) and site of earlier church (CO082-021005-) to S. Possible holy well (CO082-021003-) near NW corner of graveyard.
