In pasture, atop hillock. Graveyard approached from road c. 300m to W, with causeway over marshy area and cut-stone stile in field boundary; however, Grove White (1905-25, vol. 2, 16) was informed locally that old road led to church from Doneraile-Mallow road to S; S part of this road shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Roughly circular graveyard (c. 42m WSW-ENE; c. 35m NNW-SSE) enclosed by stone wall (H c. 0.9m) with gateway entrance (Wth 1.6m) to W (see photograph ibid., opp. 6); internal fosse (D 0.7m) to N. Rectangular walled extension in NW corner accommodates grave plot of Patrick Piggot (1925AD). Ruin of C of I parish church of Caherduggan (14711) off-centre to N; site of earlier church (14408) also here. Earliest headstone noted dated 1781; two low uninscribed gravemarkers lie N of church.
