The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural rise at the base of a stream valley. A burial ground (WI007-029001-) identified as a small square enclosure (dims. 5.8m x 6m) defined by a wall of uncoursed stone with an entrance (Wth c. 1.2m) at the E. It produced an early medieval cross-inscribed graveslab (possibly covering a long cist) (designated WI007-029002-), a fragment of another (designated WI007-029003-) and two simple granite crosses one with a small inscribed Latin cross (now in the NMI) (designated WI007-029004- and WI007-029005-). Not visible at ground level. (Kilbride-Jones 1939, 173-6)
