The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SE-facing slope within Taghmon. A short length of wall from the Lady’s Church (WX041-008007-) survives within a rectangular graveyard (dims 45m NW-SE; c. 25-30m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls. A granite grave-marker (Corlett 2010) in the graveyard has a solid ringed head, and is probably influenced in its design by the only physical remnant of St. Munna’s monastery in the base and head of a granite high cross (WX041-008002-).
