Situated in an undulating landscape. This is a sub-rectangular graveyard (c. 35m x c. 66m) surrounded by a stone wall containing the remains of a church (ME023-015----). The head of a high cross (ME023-022----) was formerly incorporated in the roadside wall at the entrance together with a number of architectural fragments (ME023-015002-); there is no visible trace of the former.
