The National Monuments Service's description
Traces of a possible rectangular structure (5m E-W; 2.35m N-S) are evident to the W of the leacht (GA120-002009-) that lies to the SE of the church (GA120-002001-). Its E end is unclear and within the interior a number of stones protrude above the sod cover (information from Dr J. Waddell). Four parallel slabs suggest it may have been defined by a wall (Wth 0.9m) constructed of two revetments with an inner core.
