The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA041-037001-). Burials are evident in an unenclosed area (L c. 25m NE-SW; Wth c. 8m at NE end and c. 16m at SW end) immediately to the S and W of a possible church (GA041-037002-). They are defined by small undressed roughly rectangular thin flagstones (H 0.2-0.3m; max. H 0.4m) facing E and aligned in N-S running rows c. 1m apart. According to local information, it was in use up to the 1960s (SMR file, 1984). (Gosling 1993, 177)
