The National Monuments Service's description
The church (DU026-020001-) stands within a walled graveyard, located on the summit of a S facing slope. There is a curve in the NE section of the boundary wall, which may indicate the previous existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (Wakeman 1891, 697-702; 1900, 188-190; Turner 1983, 46).
