The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, encloses much of the level space on top of the E end of a small low ridge or hill. A subrectangular area (c. 29m ENE-WSW; c. 27m NNW-SSE) defined by on low sod-covered stone bank or wall. The remnants of the wall are best defined on W and N sides. On E they are incorporated into remnants of a field boundary and on S merge with the natural slope of the hill. The graveyard encloses relatively level but uneven ground on top of the hill. In the N half there is a ruined medieval church (MA112-034----). A small roughly rectangular feature defined by stones and slabs in the S half of the graveyard may be the remains of a grave. Several low stones protruding randomly from the sod may represent grave markers. A souterrain (MA112-034002-) is located 12m to W of the graveyard, incorporating into the W boundary of the field.
