The National Monuments Service's description

On a possible early ecclesiastical site (KD021-001005-) near the centre of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD021-001002-) and shown just NW of a church site (KD021-001003-) on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map. A sub-circular area (diam. c. 50m E-W; c. 41m N-S) is enclosed by a low earthen bank (H 0.6m; Wth 3m) faced externally with drystone walling, and planted with trees. The well-maintained interior rises towards the N. Headstones date from the 18th century, the earliest noted dating to 1736, and the graveyard is still in use.
