The National Monuments Service's description
In a narrow 'pass' between the small, N-flowing, Morrell River, c. 35m to the E, and a low, steep-sided, NW-SW ridge to W, at the foot of which the graveyard lies. It contains a medieval church (KD019-006001-), a medieval graveslab (KD019-006003-) and a 17th century graveslab (KD019-006004-). A very overgrown, apparently unenclosed but roughly square area (est. dims. L c. 40m; Wth c. 40m) contains the legible remains of mainly 18th and 19th century burial markers. (Mc Cabe 20003, 187-9)
