The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in pasture on level ground at the top of an E-facing slope down to the N-S Finisk River, c. 300m to the SE. This is an early ecclesiastical site (WA013-023001-) with traces of an oval enclosure (dims. 63m N-S; 46m E-W) visible as a scarp N-S and a slight dip S-W. The perimeter is incorporated into a field bank W-N. The base of a stone cross and part of the shaft (WA013-023002-) are now missing (Harbison 1992a, 24).
