The National Monuments Service's description
On a short, gentle E-facing pasture slope, overlooked by a higher ridge immediately to the W. A large, modern, rectangular graveyard (c. 80m E-W; c. 40m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall contains an older, raised, roughly oval burial area (45.5m N-S; 35m E-W; H 1.4m at S-2m at W) at W. Densely covered with gravemarkers, the earliest legible of which date to the second half of the 18th-century. May be the site of a church (KD028-042----), of which no visible surface trace survives.
