The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. A small cairn of stones on the perimeter of enclosure (ME009-035----) supports fragments of a disc-headed cross (diam. c. 0.4m; T c. 0.1m), which is slightly broken on one side and has a Crucifixion in false relief on one side. It is probably 17th century in date.
