The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle W-facing slope overlooking a stream (100m to W) on the edge of a pasture field. An approximately square graveyard enclosure (dims. 52m E-W; 50m N-S) with the church remains (WI035-038001-) at the E end. Defined on the E and S sides by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-3.4m; H 0.8-1.2m) with internal drystone walling at the E. At the W the enclosure is defined by a low scarp with a basal revetment of small boulders surviving in patches, while at the N there is a steep scarp flanked by a sunken lane (Wth c. 5m). The E side of the graveyard is reasonably level but it drops away to the W immediately beyond the church.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
