What is recorded here

Immediately to the N of an early Christian church (GA076-011001-) and enclosing a graveyard (LF076-011002-). This subrectangular enclosure (ext. dims. 17.8m E-W; 16.2m N-S) is partly constructed of large granite slabs laid on edge with a rubble core. The W and N (max. H 1.5m; Wth c. 1.2m) walls are best preserved and external wall-facing is visible on the N wall. A clearly defined entrance gap (Wth 1m), marked by two large boulders, is roughly centrally located in the W wall. Within the interior, almost opposite the entrance gap, is a leacht (GA076-011005-) with a cross-slab (GA076-011006-). A bullaun stone (GA076-011004-) lies to the SW of the leacht.
