The National Monuments Service's description
Located on N facing slope of a hill in undulating pasture land with large impressive Motte (OF012-006001-) to the E. In the W sector of the graveyard here are the grass covered remains of N and E portions of a wall of roughly faced stones which may be the remains of a possible church (OF012-005001-) (O'Flanagan 1927, 30).
