Within and immediately S of a church (GA017-008002-). A roughly quadrangular area (E-W 21m, N-S 12m) within which lie numerous closely set small stones indicating graves (L 1m, Wth 0.5m), which also have upright grave-markers, are visible. An inscribed cross-slab lay recumbent amongst the burials to S and two other inscribed cross-slabs were discovered in field-clearance rubble to E. (Higgins 1987, 282, no. 13).
