The National Monuments Service's description
The church (ME006-028----) is within a rectangular grass-covered graveyard (dims c. 57m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks on each side except the SE where there is a scarp. No headstones or grave-markers are visible, but it is known locally that burial ceased c. 1890 and bones were noted in the field bank where the sod was poached.
