The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle E-facing slope at the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. The graveyard is marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map with a church building inside it. The crosses (WX018-001005-; WX018-001006-) are within the small graveyard (ext. dims. 12m N-S; 11m E-W) defined by masonry walls that is possibly a family graveyard now. Archaeological testing (05E0893) to withn 30m S and SW of the graveyard produced no archaeological material (McLoughlin 2008).
