The National Monuments Service's description
There is a crudely rounded granite fragment (H 0.36m; Wth 0.77m; D 0.3m) of a voussoir on the ground behind the N side of the W façade of St. Mary's Church. Beside the voussoir fragment, and almost completely buried in the ground, there is what appears to be a hexagonal granite piscina. (Bradley and King 1985, 26)
