The National Monuments Service's description

Within the SE sector of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA122-120001-) and c. 40m to the SE of a church (GA122-120002-). This roughly subrectangular burial ground (14.3m E-W; 10m N-S) is defined by a wall (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2-0.65m) along the S, W and N sides and by the enclosing bank of the enclosure in the E sector. Apart from a flat uninscribed slab (L 0.8m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.08m), in the bushes just inside the bank at SE, and two moss-covered boulders, also in the SE sector, which may possibly be grave-markers, no obvious examples are evident.
