The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E end of a low W-E ridge or spur with a NW-SE section of the River Boyne c. 85m to the NE. The church of Mary Magdalene (ME036-027----) is within a triangular grass-covered area (dims c. 80m WNW-ESE; c. 40m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls with the apex at E, but only two headstones, now in the church, survive. One has the incised date 1770. Archaeological testing (13E0456) by Donal Murphy c. 200m to the SSE produced no related material (excavations.ie 2013:111).
