Description
Within the NE corner of a graveyard (GA096-110001-) in pastureland.

The N wall is incorporated into the enclosing wall of the graveyard. The only intact architectural feature is a two-light ogee-headed window in the E gable. Some worked stone, including fragments of ogee heads, have been placed at the broken end of the S wall.
