The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope. Human remains in lintelled graves (RO034-059002-) were discovered during the 1950s at the site of a church, locally called Killfinnerty, which was then visible as a platform (dims c. 7m E-W; c. 3.5m N-S) (NMI file). This structure is no longer visible but the graveyard is a grass-covered rectangular area (dims c. 35m ENE-WSW; c. 18m NNW-SSE) defined by earth and stone banks (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) with a raised D-shaped area (dims 10m NW-SE; 4.5m NE-SW; H 0.2m) against the S side of a NW-SE field bank which overlies the interior. Rath (RO034-106----) is c. 140m to the SE.
