The National Monuments Service's description

On level ground which falls steeply to W beyond the burial ground, with River Moyle at base of slope. Land rises gently to E, in pasture. Immediately S of former orchard of Annsfort House. It appears as a raised irregular area (diam. 29.5m N-S; 20.2m E-W), however, on the OS 25-inch map the area of the graveyard (dims. 62m E-W; 38m N-S) is indicated as an oval area, tapering towards the E. There is outcrop immediately below the grass. The burial ground appears to have been subject to a lot of disturbance. A water pump was built on the S end of the graveyard and very substantial gravel mound built up around the pump. Ground to E of pump has been hollowed out slightly. Gravel for pump may have been extracted from the immediate area. A trackway (TS077-118----) N-S of burial ground appears to be an old road which runs SE to a ringfort (TS077-038----).
