The National Monuments Service's description
On elevated site, on W side of road, overlooking Ballygrady cross roads. Irregular-shaped graveyard (c. 50m N-S; c. 50m E-W), defined to S, W and NW by curving wall of sandstone; roadside wall to E largely collapsed; entrance gate piers on S side also much ruined. Interior overgrown and sloping down to S; vandalised vault in NE quadrant is only burial marker evident. No visible surface trace of C of I parish church of Kilbrin shown as rectangular structure in centre of graveyard on 1842 OS 6-inch map; Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 56) described this as 'a plain building with a square tower surmounted by a small spire; it was erected in 1788'; likely that graveyard not much older than this church.
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.
