The National Monuments Service's description
At the N end of a graveyard (KD035-030001-). A rectangular structure (int. 7.7m E-W; 3.5m N-S; ext. 14.35m E-W; 9.3m N-S) is defined by grassed-over collapsed walls, with inner wall facing stones visible intermittently along the S. The interior is disturbed by modern burials. An earthfast jambstone in the graveyard presumably came from the church.
