The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. A totally overgrown, almost square area (c. 57m N-S; c. 55m E-W), with a rounded N side, is enclosed by a wooden fence. The interior is slightly higher than the surrounding field and contained a church (KD029-016----). The earliest legible grave markers date to the 18th-century. A family vault, in the form of a granite-built pyramid, stands in the NW quadrant.
