The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly D-shaped unenclosed burial ground named 'Kilcrimple Grave Yard'; on the 1920 edition it is more rectilinear in plan (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE). No headstones or grave-markers are visible. Traces of a levelled bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) suggest it was enclosed.
