The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (GA076-011003-) associated with an early Christian church (GA076-011001-). Overgrown granite boulders mark the graves and concentrations are visible immediately to the N of the church and to the N and E of a leacht (GA076-011005-), which is visible c. 7m to the N of the church. No boulders were evident in the area between the leacht and church where granite bedrock protrudes. It was not possible to define the alignment of the graves due to the scattered nature of the boulders.
