The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland overlooking a turlough to the E. Shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 64m NW-SE; c. 53m NE-SW). A church (GA112-041----), possibly of medieval date, was roughly centrally located within it. The graveyard is delimited by low earthen banks to the W, N and E; the S edge is packed with field-clearance material. It is heavily overgrown. The only visible grave-markers are to the S of the church and they consist of numerous small plain limestone boulders, which may be part of an associated children's burial ground (GA112-041002-) (Korff and O'Connell 1985).
