The National Monuments Service's description

A rectangular graveyard (dims. 26m N-S; 43m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall. The medieval church (KK033-021001-) is centrally placed within the graveyard. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 121), there are two clochans (KK033-021005-; KK033-021006-) located W of the graveyard, one of which (KK033-021005-) is visible as a cairn. Carrigan (ibid.), also notes a font (KK033-021004-) within the graveyard, though currently unlocated, and a stoup (KK033-021007-) which is outside the W gable of the church. There are three cross-inscribed pillars (KK033-021003-; KK033-021009-; KK033-021010-), all currently within the church. Crawford (1925, 57) mentions, 'several carved or shaped stones have been found near the church'.
