What is recorded here

At the S-foot of a long, gentle pasture slope with a deserted medieval settlement site (KD008-008002-) immediately to the N and a tower house (KD008-008001-) and bawn (KD008-008003-) beyond, c. 350m to the NNW of the graveyard. A roughly rectangular area (dims. L c. 70m N-S; Wth c. 55m) is enclosed by a low, mortared stone wall with an entrance gate at the SW corner. A ruined church (KD008-009001-) and a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD008-009003-) lie to SW of centre. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church, with the earliest legible grave markers dating from the 18th century, and the graveyard is still in use.
