The National Monuments Service's description
Adjoining Oldconnell House and buildings to the E, with a fine motte (KD023-012----) visible c. 100m to the SW. A roughly trapezoidal shaped area (c. 55m E-W; c. 48m N-S) is enclosed by a roughly coursed stone wall (H c. 1.5m) on W and N, modern buildings on E, but is open to the S along which a path runs. An earthen bank runs inside the N boundary wall. The interior is higher than the immediately surrounding area and contains the foundation walls of a ruined church (KD023-011----) Table tombs, slabs and headstones mark burials from the 18th-20th centuries. Abutting the graveyard at SW is a small area enclosed by a stone wall with entrance gate and cross at S. The interior appears to be featureless.
