The National Monuments Service's description

Geophysical survey (Licence 09R 165) undertaken at St Doulagh’s church and graveyard detected the fragmented remains of a possible sub-circular enclosure (60m diam.) centred to the W of the church and graveyard. The remains were poorly defined due to interference from modern ferrous deposits. However, it does suggest the presence of an enclosure which is not contemporary with the present location of St. Doulagh’s church and graveyard (Nicholls 2009, 7).
