The National Monuments Service's description
On a very gentle NW-slope in gently undulating pastureland. A square area (dims. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) is enclosed by a modern stone wall and is still used for burial. The earliest legible grave-markers date to the 18thC. There is no visible surface trace of a church (KD003-008001-) which was contained in the S sector, according to the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map.
