The site centres around a sub-rectangular graveyard that slopes gently towards Lough Foyle to the east, occupying what has long been recognised as prime agricultural land. Local tradition maintains that St. Patrick himself founded this religious settlement, though the claim, like many such attributions across Ireland, remains unverified by historical documentation.

The graveyard complex preserves an impressive collection of early medieval monuments. Just outside the western entrance stands a tall, unadorned high cross with a distinctive ring connecting its arms; a classic example of Irish ecclesiastical sculpture. Within the graveyard walls, visitors can explore the remains of two churches, one of which served the local community as a parish church throughout the medieval period. A particularly intriguing structure is the mortuary house or tomb shrine, a type of monument often associated with the veneration of founding saints or important religious figures.

Among the smaller but equally significant features is a cross-inscribed slab standing 63 centimetres high, carved with a ring-headed cross in relief. This modest monument, identified as number 10 on the heritage committee’s site plan, sits just 1.5 metres north of another cross-inscribed stone. These carved slabs, whilst less imposing than their larger counterparts, represent the everyday devotional culture of early Irish Christianity and demonstrate the site’s continued religious significance across many centuries.
