The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a rise on a broad, low hill, with wide view out E-S over what would have been the lake of Lagore. The site of the early monastery and the parish church of Trevet (ME038-017----) are within a raised but neglected subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 62m E-W; c. 43m N-S) defined by masonry walls with very few headstones that appear to be 19th century in date. According to the Dopping visitation (1682-5) it was not enclosed in the late 17th century (Ellison 1971, 38).
