The National Monuments Service's description
A low earthen bank (Wth 8m; H 0.4m) extends for a length of c. 15m from the NW corner of the graveyard (GA099-114002-). A scarp to its E extends beyond the N wall of the graveyard and then turns S and is visible to the E of the E wall. Here its course is rather irregular. It is unclear if these earthworks are associated with the church (GA099-114001-) and graveyard.
