The National Monuments Service's description
To the SW of centre in a graveyard (KD008-009002-). A slightly raised, oval area (int. diams. 30m E-W; 20m N-S) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.6-1.4m) and may be the remains of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. A later, medieval church (KD008-009001-) stands in the N sector.
