The National Monuments Service's description
On natural rock outcrop, in grassland with good views in all directions. Small rectangular-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 45m N-S; 37m E-W; wall T 0.45m; wall H 1m) with ruinous church (TS054-013001-) located in N quadrant of graveyard. Not clear if the graveyard wall built on the site of the N wall of the church or whether the N wall of the church is beyond the outer face of the graveyard wall. Graveyard wall probably constructed in the 19th century and may have pulled down church wall when constructing the wall along the N side of the graveyard. No other features visible. Several large 20th-century burial monuments inside church building. Church walls covered in ivy impossible to see wall construction. Quarry located immediately N of the graveyard wall to N of church.
