What is recorded here
On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. This poorly preserved subcircular ecclesiastical enclosure (76m N-S; 61m E-W) is defined by a double-faced drystone wall with a rubble core (int. H 0.3-0.8m; ext. H 0.5-1.7m; Wth 1.25m); it is best preserved from W through N to SSE. A field boundary overlies it from E to SSE. A roadway surrounds it from S through W to NW. A gap (Wth c. 6.5m) in the E sector is modern but the inner line of the enclosure wall is evident. A church (GA096-051002-) and graveyard (GA096-051002-) lie in the S half of the interior. Cody (1989, 315-17, no. 139) noted a possible internal radial division, defined by a grass-covered stony bank, in the SE quadrant.
