The grass-covered remains of the E wall of a church (WA005-026001-) are within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 80m E-W; c. 45m N-S) which also contains an old school building and a small number of headstones. The graveyard borders Castlereagh at E and S. A pebble with incised crosses was found in the graveyard (Lucas et al. 1972, 198-9).
