The National Monuments Service's description
The burial ground (RO006-059002-) is situated on the gentle NE-facing slope of a rise and within a large oval overgrown enclosure (dims 103m NW-SE; 47m NE-SW), which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest. The enclosure is defined by an external scarp (H 0.5-1m) N-E and an internal scarp (H 0.5-1m) S-W. It is bisected by a N-S field bank (Wth 5m; H 0.2-0.3m). There is no visible surface evidence of a church or of burial.
