The National Monuments Service's description
Located within the S half of an ecclesiastical enclosure (DG084-001001-). This roughly oval or oblong area (34m NE−SW; c. 27m NW−SE) is defined by low sod-covered walls footings, in parts reduced to a slight scarp. A drystone wall on NE−SW axis subdivides the interior to W of centre. This wall marks off the W third of the enclosure, which serves as a graveyard (DG084-001002-), in which an altar (DG084-001008-) and three penitential cairns (DG084-001005-; DG084-001006-; DG084-001007-) are located.
