The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the E end of an ENE-WSW ridge. The church (LH025-003001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 25-38m NNW-SSE; c. 23-26m ENE-WSW) defined by masonry walls. The legible headstones have dates from 1743 to 1962 but most of the burial took place in the nineteenth century (Garry 1970).
