Area on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map is called Church Hill and it depicts a rectangular area as the site of the graveyard. Graveyard consists of an approximately circular area (diam. c. 37m) surrounded by traces of low, broad bank. Slight rise close to centre may be remains of former church, mentioned by O'Toole (JKAS 1932, 74-75) as 'foundations of the walls of the church may be felt with an iron rod, about a foot under the surface of the field. The building ran east and west and was apparently 40 feet long by 27 feet wide'.
