The National Monuments Service's description

Situated at the W end of a prominent E-W drumlin ridge. This site of the medieval parish church of Tullycorbet (MO014-030001-) is within a neglected subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 100m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks. A corner portion of a gable coping with a carving of a head (MO014-030003-) from the medieval church was noted in 1940 (ITA Survey) and is probably still present, but its precise location in the overgrown graveyard is not known.
