The National Monuments Service's description

The OS 1837 map shows a 'church' within an enclosure at Kilmartin (DU013-002002-). The ecclesiastical enclosure is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (OS 8/7584). There is a possible outer enclosure which the road bends to respect (L. E-W c. 150m, Wth N-S c. 110m). These remains were levelled between 1971-76. Today this is an area of lowland tillage which has experienced large, scale field fence removal. No visible surface trace. Aerial photograph (GB89. AE.10) provides a view of the location of the church surrounded by a curvilinear enclosure defined by two widely spaced fosses. Not visible at ground level.
