The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope beside a stream. Part of the N graveyard wall (WI010-011003-) stands on an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; H 1m) outside which there is a fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 1m); this may have continued to the W to the bank of the small stream and may be part of an earlier enclosure.
