The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a lowlying well-sheltered area to N and NE of a damp marshy area. A triangular grass-covered area defined by straight well-built roughly coursed walls at NW and NE (at NW: H 1.35m; Wth 0.56m) and a curving uncoursed wall (H 1.3m) at S. A stile gives access midway along the NW wall. The graveyard slopes slightly to the W. Templecronan church (CL010-021002-) lies within and there are two slab shrines, one (CL010-021010-) SE of the church and the second (CL010-021011-) just outside the graveyard wall to the NE. There are two plain gravemarkers (H 0.52m and 0.71m) close to one of the shrines (CL010-021010-) and eight or nine low plain markers to the S and SW of the church.
