On a narrow, level terrace in a long, gentle SW-facing slope, in pasture. A square area (dims. L c. 50m; Wth c. 50m) is enclosed by a stone wall and contains the ruins of a fortified medieval church (KD019-039----), an Early Christian cross-slab (KD019-039002-), a medieval baptismal font (KD019-039003-) and a 17th century Latin cross (KD019-039004-).
