The National Monuments Service's description
The early church (ME011-037----) is at the summit of the mound of a D-shaped graveyard (ME011-037004-) defined by an earth and stone bank. The sandstone base (basal dims 0.7m x 0.68m; H 0.67m) of a high cross with a roll moulding on the angles is in the graveyard N of the church, but a fragment of a high cross that may have belonged to it and was in the graveyard is now lost (Harbison 1992, 76).
