The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll on a S-facing slope in the valley of a small SE-NW stream, which is c. 30m to the S and which joins the River Dee c. 1.5km to the NW. The site of the parish church of Siddan (ME006-056001-) is within a rectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 87m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by masonry walls where the present St. David’s Church of Ireland church that was built in 1881 stands, but the precise location of the earliest church structure is not known. In the graveyard is a cross-slab (ME006-056002-) and the font from Drumcondrath (ME006-012003-) is now outside the present church (ME006-056004-).
