What is recorded here

At the E edge of an overgrown graveyard (KD023-002001-) which also contains traces of a levelled church (KD023-002----). A small, heavily overgrown, rectangular masonry structure (dims. c. 5.5m NE-SW; c. 3m NW-SE) with a doorway in the NW wall was erected, probably in the 19th-century, as a watch-house to protect burials from interference. It appears to incorporate some of the masonry from the levelled church: a large square granite block at the S corner, and a well-dressed chamfered block reused as a lintel-stone.
