The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of undulating grassland and rock outcrop. This poorly preserved unenclosed burial ground is roughly subrectangular (35m N-S; 30m E-W) in plan. Slight traces of a low bank of earth and stone at W may be the remains of a N-S running field boundary. Burials are concentrated in the NW sector, where numerous small uninscribed set stones indicate graves aligned E-W. Possibly a children's burial ground.
