The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape with the small NNE-SSW Yellow River c. 80m to the W. St. Anne's church (ME025-002001-) is situated on a circular mound (diam. 30m; H 1.5m) which is of artificial construction and from which at least twenty inhumations, probably associated with the church, were recovered in excavation (E000149) in 1975-6 by E. P. Kelly (1976) and 1980-1, but there is no enclosed graveyard (SMR file). The enclosure (ME025-002---) pre-dates the church, and St. Anne’s Well (ME025-045----) is c. 70m to the SW.
