The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland overlooking bogland to the W and S. This unenclosed burial ground is defined by an oval-shaped platform (13.6m N-S; 8m E-W). Numerous small set uninscribed slabs (H 0.1-0.2m) within it indicate graves aligned E-W. A number of the grave-markers have fallen and are grassed over. St. Bridget's Well (GA107-) lies c. 115m to the SE.
