The National Monuments Service's description
On the roadside, in tillage. A large subrectangular area (c. 75m N-S; c. 60m E-W) is enclosed by a limestone wall with an entrance gate off the road to the N. The interior contains a ruined medieval church (KD034-005----) and a fragmentary font (KD034-005002-) to S of centre. Burials occur densely both around and in the church, and the earliest legible burials date to the 18th-century.
