The National Monuments Service's description

Marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular area (c. 35m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) in demesne of Mitchelstown Castle (14918) and named 'Kiltanauve Old Grave Yard'; named 'Grave Yd (Disused)' on 1905 OS 6-inch map. In pasture, c. 90m NE of holy well (14020). Only visible remains are WSW wall which survives to H of 0.8m and NNW and SSE enclosing walls, visible as slight grass-covered undulation. No grave markers evident. Referred to in Crichad na Chaoilli as Ceall Danain, which Power (1932, 51, 72) surmises was a scribal error for Ceall Da Naom.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
