The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of a W-facing slope. An early ecclesiastical site remains unplanted within a coniferous forest. The ecclesiastical enclosure (WA016-059002-) contains a rectangular enclosure against the inside of the bank at E within which are the foundations of a two-cell building (WA016-059001-). A bullaun stone (Power 1952, 373) attested at the site c. 1985 (Carroll 1985, 22) can no longer be found.
