The National Monuments Service's description
In open, level, improved pasture c. 20m W of a steep, modern embankment bordering the SW-flowing Slate River. A sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 70m NW-SE; Wth c. 50m) is enclosed by a low, mortared stone wall (T 0.6m) and contains a church (KD017-007----) to SE of centre, to the S of which the majority of burials occur; marked by small, plain stones. Three headstones near the S wall date to the 18th and 19th c. Along the N and E, the enclosing wall retains an earthen bank which may be the remains of an earlier, ecclesiastical enclosure (KD017-007002-).
