The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of the E-facing foothills of the Monavullagh Mountains, c. 350m W of the NW-SE River Tay. The parish church of Kilrossanty (WA023-007001-) is within a D-shaped graveyard (WA023-007002-) defined by stone-faced earthen banks with straight N and E sides.
The pointed chancel arch (Wth 2.25m), with evidence of wicker centering, incorporates a fragment of a cross-inscribed graveslab (L 1.02m) in the N pier, and there is a hagioscope or squint (H 0.59m; Wth 0.12m) in the N pier.
