The National Monuments Service's description
On natural hillock in area of outcrop at the edge of a flat river valley, in rough pasture. The Thonoge River flows c. 150m to the NE. The church (TS081-050001-), of which only a small portion survives upstanding, is roughly centrally placed within the graveyard, on the land sloping down to N. The edge of the graveyard (diam. 42.5m N-S; 37m E-W) is defined by a low bank (Wth 1.15m), largely reduced to scarp (H 0.1m int.; 0.6m ext. to c. 2m in the W quadrant). The E side is defined by a stone wall, probably contemporary with the adjacent farmyard.
