The National Monuments Service's description
On fairly level ground at the foot of a range of low hills, at the rear of modern farm buildings, in good pasture. Within a graveyard (KK008-115002-) associated with a medieval church (KK008-115001-) Moore (1874-9, vol. 1, 36-7) noted, 'fragments of a medieval monument with curious ornamentation incised on them'. These fragments possibly relate to a medieval graveslab. The fragments were not visible when the graveyard was visited in 1986.
