The National Monuments Service's description

In level mixed tillage and pasture on the N edge of a farmyard some 700m E of the S-flowing River Barrow. A ruined Religious House (KD030-005----), possibly belonging to the Knights Hospitallers, stands c. 40m to the SW and a ruined gatehouse (KD030-007001-) and possible bawn (KD030-007002-) stand c. 60m to the SSE. A well-maintained oval area (c. 45m N-S; c. 36m E-W) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall. A ruined church (KD030-006----) occupies almost the full width of the graveyard just N of centre. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and legible gravemarkers date from the 19th-century.
