The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in undulating pasture. A sub-rectangular graveyard (dims. 50m N–S; 46.5m E–W) with a church (TS070-086----), orientated E–W, roughly centrally placed within. The graveyard is enclosed by a low earthen and stone bank (int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 0.6-0.7m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 1.9-2.1m), except in the E quadrant where the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m). There are earthworks (TS070-086003-) to the E and SE and a small enclosure (TS070-086002-) immediately to the N of the graveyard and another (TS070-085----) c. 30m to the N. According to the OS Letters 'Its graveyard is deserted' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 67 (181)). There are no graveslabs or headstones visible above ground level.
