The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a prominent hill summit with extensive views of the surrounding countryside. Accessed via a path through a ploughed field. The graveyard is enclosed by a stone masonry wall and is sub-rectangular in plan. A medieval church (DU005-037001) occupies much of the site. The ground to the south of the church is raised compared to that outside. The graveyard contains 18th, 19th and 20th century grave markers including a pillar stone with the remnants of an inscription (Fingal Historic Graveyards project 2008). The graveyard is still in use.
