The National Monuments Service's description
This monument was inspected in 1980 and described as the ruins of a church (WM033-008----) standing in the centre of a subrectangular-shaped graveyard. The graveyard (dims. 40m N-S; 35m E-W) contains several 19th century tombstones and is now badly overgrown making detailed examination impossible. Cross-inscribed slab (WM033-008002-) located S of the church (WM033-008----).
