The National Monuments Service's description
In open, level pasture. A roughly trapezoidal area (dims L c. 60m N-S; Wth c. 55m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall which appears to follow the line of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD013-019005-), and is entered through a gate at S. The interior contains a church (KD013-019002-) and is the site of a religious house of the Knight's Hospitallers (KD013-019001-). Burials are concentrated to the S and W of the church, with a few also to the N and E, and the graveyard is still in use.
