The National Monuments Service's description
At the N end of a pasture ridge. A rectangular area (c. 68m N-S; c. 54m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall with an entrance gate on the S side. It contained a medieval church (KD032-041----). A medieval font (KD032-041002-) survives, as well as a medieval gargoyle (KD032-041003-) which is mounted on the W gable of a 19th-century church there. The earliest legible gravestones date to the 18th-century.
