The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the N side of a graveyard (MA033-001002-).
The drystone enclosing wall (Wth 0.9m; ext. H 0.9m) on the N side of the graveyard, overlies an grass-covered earthen bank (ext. H 0.4m), which projects 2.2m to N from beneath the graveyard wall. The earthen bank may be the remains of an ecclesiastical enclosure, perhaps contemporary an early phase of religious foundation at this location or with the current Romanesque church (MA033-001001-).
