The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pastureland on a wide, flat plain. A medieval church (KK010-005001-) is roughly centrally located within a roughly rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 33-40m N-S, widening slightly towards the E end; c. 70m E-W). The graveyard is enclosed by a 19th-century wall, and the interior is 1m above the surrounding fields. Carrigan (ibid., 84-5) notes two late 17th-century graveslabs (KK010-005004-; KK010-005005-) in the SW angle of the graveyard.
