The National Monuments Service's description
Sub-oval shaped enclosure (c. 53m E-W; c. 42m N-S) delimited by an enclosing wall. The interior of the graveyard is level with the top of the wall and rises towards the centre. The graveyard contains the remains of church (ME049-004----) and seven architectural fragments including the jambs and two parts of an ogee-headed window. A possible cross-slab stands to the S of the church (ME049-004003-) and immediately E of the entrance in the S wall of the graveyard, is a carved stone, possible the remains of a wall monument (ME049-004002-). The graveyard is still in use and the earliest recorded headstones date from the 18th century.
