The National Monuments Service's description
On a low NNW-SSE ridge with rock outcrop. There is local information on the discovery of human remains c. 1980 in digging the foundations for a shed which was consequently moved to the S, but their precise location is not known. Burials (RO051-100002-) were discovered c. 130m to the WSW, and a burial (RO051-098---) was discovered c. 250m to the NE. They may have been part of a church site (RO051-009001-) c. 220m to the N.
