The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating landscape. Rectangular grass and scrub-covered area (int. dims 15.4m NE-SW; 13.7m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall with some bushes, best preserved on the NE side with facing-stones (original Wth 0.9m; surviving H 0.65m). The interior has many grave-markers and there are local memories of burials occurring up to the end of the 19th century.
