The National Monuments Service's description
There are large enclosures from the field system (ME016-044----) in the fields surrounding St. Scíre’s early church site (ME016-043----). An archaeo-magnetic survey in these fields identified a small rectangular building (dims c. 10m E-W; c. 6m N-S) c. 50m E of the graveyard, which is defnied by ditch features and interpreted as a possible church. (Gibson 2007, 37)
