Situated in the S-N valley of the Curraghteskin stream at a point where smaller SE-NW stream joins it just to the S. 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). Archaeological testing c. 60m to the SW in Curraghateskin failed to produce any related material (Wren 2000b, P 292, No. 842).
