The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the crest of a low NW-SE drumlin ridge. The graveyard (RO027-034002-) was destroyed in 1837 by the construction of a NW-SE roadway (Hayward 1955, 212) and nothing of it remains, but the base of a cross (dims 0.48m x 0.3m; H 0.3m) is almost buried in the N road bank and other cross fragments from the graveyard are set up on a plinth in the field to the NE.
This is a National Monument in state guardianship: No. 397
