The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (CUCAP AYL 59) shows a rectangular cropmark of a church aligned E-W, within a small circular enclosure (KD038-033002-) defined by a fosse. Traces of two other enclosures are visible at the S and W (see field system KD038-033003-), the latter defined by two fosses and a possible bank. Slight traces of circular platform (diam. c. 26m) are visible. The soil in this area is reported as being very stony. Situated on a slight ridge in well-drained pasture land.
