On a level terrace overlooking a small stream mmediately to the S. Marked on the 1838 and 1921 editions of the OS 6-inch maps as the site of a church. No visible surface trace of it survives. A holy well (GA114-066002-) lies c. 40m to the SE, and there is a children's burial ground (GA114-066003-) c. 40m to the SSE. There are also two unclassified buildings (GA114-066006- and GA114-066007-) adjacent to the holy well, and 5m to the SW of the latter is a small overgrown rectangular structure (GA114-066005-) which may have been a penitential station. A secular well lies c. 60m to the SE on the S bank of the stream.

On level ground, c. 15m to the N of a small stream and c. 40m to the SE of a church (GA14-066001-). This is a natural spring well in a rock cut depression (L 1.5m; Wth 0.75m). A small rectangular cut-stone block with a mortise hole on its upper face lies beside it. A possible penitential station (GA114-066005-) lies c. 5m to the SW. A second well (GA114-066004-) lies just across the stream to the S. It may also have had some religious significance. A children's burial ground (GA114-066003-) lies c. 15m to the SW.

Some 15m to the SW of a holy well (GA114-066004-). This children's burial ground is defined by an unenclosed subrectangular area (c. 14m E-W; 6m N-S). The W half had been cleared revealing three parallel rows of small undressed irregularly spaced set stones indicating graves aligned E-W. A church (GA114-066001-) lay c. 48m to the NNW.

This spring well lies c. 2m to the S of a stream and immediately to the E of a natural fording point on it. It is horseshoe-shaped in plan (3m E-W; 2m N-S) and opens to the W. It is enclosed by a moss-covered stone wall which forms a revetment against the naturally rising ground to the E of it. It is possibly a holy well and may be associated with another holy well (GA114-066002-) across the stream c. 66m to the N. A children's burial ground lies c. 25m to the NW.

This possible penitential station lies c. 5m to the SW of a holy well (GA114-066002-). It consists of a small rectangular drystone walled enclosure (3m ENE-WSW; 2m WNW-ESE; H 0.5m). Two courses of walling survive. It is totally overgrown and a large thorn tree is growing at its E end.

Associated with a holy well (GA114-066002-). Some 8m to the NW of the holy well are the foundations of a rectangular building (GA114-066006-), aligned NNE-SSW, which is composed of undressed blocks (L 7.5m; Wth 5.5m). A second building (GA114-066007-), c. 5m to the NNE of the well, is only slightly better preserved. It consists of a rectangular ruin (L 8m; Wth 4m) aligned N-S. Though its E side-wall survives to a height of 1.5m, the other walls are completely collapsed and/or grassed-over. A narrow laneway passes outside its E wall. These buildings may have been associated with the other ecclesiastical remains (see GA114-066001-). However, they could also have been part of the extensive house cluster of c. 20 buildings, named 'Toberelatan', shown here on 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
