The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in open, gently undulating pasture. A roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 45m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall with an entrance gate at E. The legible grave markers in the heavily overgrown interior date to the 18th and 19th-century. Traces of the foundations of a levelled church (KD023-002----) survive in the NW sector and there is a small, probably 19th-century, watch-house (KD023-002002-) at E.
