The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad low hill. Rectangular graveyard (dims 42m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by masonry walls has been extended to the W (dims c. 80m E-W; 28m N-S). The S wall of the church (RO028-046001-) is incorporated in the S wall of the old graveyard. Archaeological testing (09E0228) c. 100m W of the old graveyard and on the other side of the entry lane produced no related archaeological material (Purcell 2012).
