What is recorded here
Located on a gentle E-facing slope on the lower foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains with a N-S stream c. 70m to the E. The church field is a wedge-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims. c. 50-60m N-S; c. 25m E-W at N to c. 45m E-W at S) defined by a stone-clad earthen bank and hedge. The interior is stoney and two upright stones (dims. 0.3-0.4m; T 0.1m; H 0.1m) are probably grave-markers as there is a local tradition of burial. Bullaun stone (WX014-038001-) is c. 90m to the SE.
