The National Monuments Service's description
Known locally as Kilcolumb church (WM021-008----) and graveyard. In pasture, at N end of N-S ridge in undulating countryside overlooking valley and River Deel 35m to W. Sub-rectangular shaped graveyard (dims. c. 48m N-S; 40m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall (max. H 1.7m; T 0.4m) of post-medieval date with entrance gate at E. The ruins of a structure standing in S quadrant of graveyard are depicted as a church on all editions of the OS six-inch maps. The graveyard contains memorials dating from the post-medieval period onwards. No evidence of any earthworks or trace of an ecclesiastical enclosure in the fields surrounding the graveyard. The surface of the graveyard is now quite level and appears to have been levelled and re-seeded with grass possibly around 2010 when the possible church structure was rebuilt.
