The National Monuments Service's description
On the S side of a road, on the narrow summit of a short, low, N-S pasture ridge in an area of mixed tillage and pasture. An almost square area (dims. L c. 70m; Wth c. 70m) is enclosed by a stone wall and entered from the road along the N. Contains a church (KD014-041001-) in the N sector, with the main concentration of burials to its S. The oldest, legible grave markers date to the 19th century and stand to the E and W of the church. The E and W perimeter and S-third of the interior are planted with palm trees.
