The National Monuments Service's description
A level oval area (26m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) at the NW edge of a marked slope overlooking a stream. Towards the SW side there is a rectangular area (c. 8.5m x 4m) defined by the poorly preserved foundations of a wall (WI009-007003-). Other small slabs in the vicinity of a stone cross (WI009-007001-) may be simple gravemarkers. There is no indication of any enclosing feature. (Hawkes 1938,156-7)
