The National Monuments Service's description
Located off crossroads in a raised, walled graveyard which is oval in plan. There was a broad earthen bank evident outside the graveyard (dims. L 50m, Wth 35m, bank Wth 5m, H 1.5m) with an entrance ramp in the S. This is probably an early ecclesiastical enclosure. Possible remnants of bank to north, faced with graveyard wall and planted. To west a new entrance and landscaping to private residence-bank appears to have disappeared.
