The National Monuments Service's description
The remains of the medieval parish church (DU014-002001-) lies in the west end of a graveyard north of St. Margaret's village. The graveyard surrounded by a stone wall is sub-rectangular in plan. The ground slopes steeply down from south to north. An 18th century mausoleum which is dedicated to the Morgan family is located at the southern boundary of the graveyard (Anon 1835, 92; Healy 1975, 26; Tutty 1979, 155-157).
