The National Monuments Service's description
Fitzgerald (1905, 355) noted that although there were no, '… signs of graves: … small human bones have been thrown up to the surface by rabbits on the south side of the ruins (a church, KD019-029----), where it is slightly higher than the surrounding field, which goes by the name of the "Church Field"' There is no obvious visible trace of a graveyard.
