The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland. A church (GA108-102----) was located in its N end. Most of the headstones in this rectangular graveyard (c. 36m N-S; c. 33m E-W) date to the 19th and 20th centuries but some late 18th-century examples are also visible. It is enclosed by a concrete stone wall with an entrance at W. A holy well (GA108-101----) lay c. 90m to the N.
