The National Monuments Service's description
In a fern-covered E-sloping hollow with gorse-covered rocky ridges to N and S. According to local information, a roughly square area (c. 15m x 15m) was used as a burial ground. Some plain uninscribed upright stone grave-markers were noted among the ferns. The burial ground has not been used in living memory.
