The National Monuments Service's description
Located immediately N of Malahide estuary. The site comprises a raised oval area, aligned E-W (L 27m, Wth 22m, H 1.4m-1.8m) enclosed by a modern wall which appears to have replaced an earlier earthen enclosure. A rectangular sunken feature aligned E-W, towards W end of graveyard is probably the remains of the church (L 8.0m, Wth 6.9m). The graveyard is no longer used for burials. (Healy 1975, 25). The gravyard is very overgrown with only a single gravestone visible. According to Peadar Bates, local historian, the gravestone is that of William Massey 1777, MP for Swords.
