The much reduced remains of a circular enclosure situated on firm ground above a marshy area at NR 8249 9192. It measures 10.4m in diameter within a stone-faced wall averaging 1.4m wide with gravel infilling. The wall splays to 1.9m wide in the SW where there is a possible entrance and at no point does it stand more than 0.4m high. This structure partially overlies a similar, larger, enclosure with walls averaging 1.0m wide.
Although called the Monk's or Friar's graveyard, it is unlikely that it has any religious associations though its purpose is not clear.
The cross is still at St Columba's Chapel.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (DWR) 30 April 1973.
