The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE sector of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD013-005001-). A sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 70m N-S; Wth c. 60m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall with an entrance gate at the SW corner. The majority of the grave markers occur to the E of a 19th century church (KD013-005004-) and date from the 18th-20th c. O'Leary and Cullen (1999, 18-20) have transcribed the inscriptions. The ruins of a probable medieval church (KD013-005002-) lie just SE of the 19th century church.
