The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the S of a church (GA112-041----) that is possibly of medieval date. According to Korff and O'Connell (1985, 6), the graveyard (GA112-041001-) associated with the church was 'used in more recent times as a children's burial ground'. The numerous graves are marked with small plain limestone boulders.
