The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in low-lying pasture. A generally oval-shaped graveyard (47m N-S; 64m E-W) defined by a masonry wall and surrounding a church (CL026-051001-). It appears as though the NE quadrant of the graveyard was cut out but there is no evidence that the graveyard ever extended to the NE beyond the church. The graveyard contains headstones from c. 1850 and three vaults.
