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-). There is no evidence of a church structure (WA002-048001-) or of a graveyard (WA002-048002-), but three bullaun stones of Old Red Sandstone conglomerate are at the site, and a fourth may be missing.
A large triangular stone (WA002-048005-) (dims. 1.4m x 0.2-1.15m; T 0.4-0.7m) with two basins (diam. 22-24cm; D 6cm: diam. 20-33cm; D 16cm) is at the E end of the surviving bank of ecclesiastical enclosure (WA002-048003-). This is one of the two marked on the 1928 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but it is probably not in its original position.
