The National Monuments Service's description
A large rectangular area (dims. L c. 125 WNW-ESE; Wth c. 60) flanked by roads along the W and N, in level mixed pasture and tillage. When visited in 1987, it was noted that parts of the E-interior were quarried out, and there was no visible surface trace of a church. Headstones dated from the 18th to the 20th century, and amidst some rubble was the leg of an altar tomb.
