The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight N-facing slope with a small E-W stream immediately to the N. There is a local tradition that a well was associated with the church (WX041-029001-) and attached to the stream, but even the name is not remembered. There is no visible remains of a well at ground level in a pasture field.
