The National Monuments Service's description

The ecclesiastical enclosure (RO021-083003-) recorded in remote sensing by the Discovery Programme during 2009 is surrounded by a field system consisting of rectangular fields (dims c. 30m x. c. 40m) radiating from it in at least two bands, particularly W-N and covering c. 3 ha. (c. 7 acres) (Shanahan 2013, 85-6). An E-W double-ditched feature (Wth c. 5m) approaching the ecclesiastical enclosure from the WNW might be a road or a field bank with two ditches, but a wider double-ditched feature (Wth 12-25m) outside the outermost enclosing element S-W is probably a droveway and leads to the quarries or ponds S of the graveyard.
