The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a S-facing slope and just on the NW shore of Bannow Bay. There is no evidence of burial or of an enclosure associated with the church of Saintkierans (WX045-030001-) but there is an old trackway visible as two low parallel earthen banks (ext. Wth 6.4m) running E-W (L c. 30m) just S of the church.
