The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of shoreline scrub, on the northern shoreline of Kilgory Lough, c. 60m to E of Kilgory House (CL035-078----). An unenclosed area named ‘Grave Yd.’ on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The Ordnance Survey letters cite a small deserted burial place in the townland of Kilgory (OSL, vol. 2, 294). This is not readily visible due to its location within an area of overgrowth.
