The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the crest of the E-facing slope of a wide N-S col with summits c. 400m to the SW and c. 700m to the NNW. This is an early ecclesiastical site consisting largely of an ecclesiastical enclosure (WA002-048003-). This is a ciircular grass-covered area (dims. 80m WNW-ESE; 77m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.8-2.2m) with internal and external stone-facing, which functions as a field bank E-S-W. Elsewhere it is defined by a slight scarp. There is no evidence of a church structure or of a graveyard (WA002-048002-), but three bullaun stones (WA002-048004-; WA002-048005-; WA002-048006-) are at the site, and a fourth (WA002-048007-) may be missing.
