The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1837 and 1929 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a Burial Ground. Situated on the S and E-facing slope of an WNW-ESE ridge, and known locally as 'Teamhair Cemetery'. This is a trapezoidal graveyard (int. dims 32m N-S; 27.6m E-W at N; 12m E-W at S) defined by conserved masonry walls, which were once drystone-built. It contains 20th century headstones and an area (dims c. 6m x c. 6m) with uninscribed grave-markers. There is no evidence of a church.
