The National Monuments Service's description
At the top of a moderately steep E-facing pasture slope. A large roughly rectangular area (c. 72m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) is enclosed by a stone wall with an entrance gate on the W side. The interior contains the foundations of ruined medieval church (KD032-005----) adjoining a later, 19th-century church. Burials are concentrated to S and W of the church and the earliest legible grave markers date to the 19th-century.
