A large unenclosed, sub-rectangular graveyard (KD028-052002-) is depicted by a broken line (c. 70m NNW-SSE; c. 50m ENE-SSW) on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. The N portion is shown to have been enclosed on the current ed. (1939-40) of the map, which also shows the S portion partially enclosed by a bank and named ‘Rath Nua’ (KD028-052001-). Described in 1972 as part of a roughly circular ringfort (diam. 29m) defined by a bank and wide fosse containing traces of a possible church (KD028-052003-). No visible surface trace of the enclosure or possible church survived in 1986 (SMR file), however, an aerial photograph (GB89.AF.29) shows the cropmark of a broad fosse defining a sub-circular area projecting S from the modern graveyard wall. A low earthen bank (H 0.6m; Wth 2.4m) abuts the outer face of the graveyard wall at SE and may be the remains of the enclosing bank noted in 1972.
