The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N-NE-facing slope. This is an early ecclesiastical site. The church (WA005-014001-) is now reduced to a low mound (diam. c. 20m; H c. 0.5m) within an oval grass-covered area (dims. c. 165m N-S; c. 115m E-W) defined by a curved field bank NW-NE, a straightened field bank NE-SE, a low scarp (H 0.5m) and outer berm (Wth 15m) SE-S and a destroyed field bank S-NW. An ogham stone (WA005-014003-) was moved from the central structure c. 1880 to a nearby farmhouse (WA005-012----). (Power 1923; Lyons 1946)
