The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a lower shoulder at the E end of a drumlin ridge. The site of an early church reputedly founded by St Patrick and the site of the medieval parish church of Drumlease (LE015-071001-) are within a subrectangular graveyard (dims 53m E-W; 24m N-S at E; 18.3m N-S at W) defined by mortared stone walls, but there is no visible evidence of an antiquity.
