The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the NE-facing slope of a low ridge known as Chapel Hill. The church (ME045-015----) is within a subrectangular enclosure (dims 33m E-W; c. 75m NNW-SSE) defined by scarps (H 0.1m at S to c. 0.5m) but there is no evidence of burial. Nor is there any evidence of or local knowledge of a possible souterrain (Feely 2001, 41-5) which may have been a water-course and there is a closed sink-hole inside the enclosure at S.
