The National Monuments Service's description

In undulating pasture, bisected by roadway running WNW-ESE. Traces of large oval enclosure (c. 160m ESE-WNW; c. 130m SSW-NNE) surround Aghabulloge graveyard (CO061-080002-). Best preserved section of enclosure boundary is short length of stone-faced earthen bank (H 1.7m) WNW->NW, just N of road; NW->E no surface trace of enclosure; E->SE (just E of graveyard wall) slight curving rise possibly marks line of enclosure. S of road, SE->S, gardens on line of enclosure. Slight scarp S->WSW, just inside curving line of field fence. Saint's stone (9247), originally in field to N of graveyard, recently moved to inside graveyard. Two ogham stones (7959, 7960) found within graveyard. St Olan's well (9271) c. 450m to NE. Identified by Hurley (1980, 54-5) as 'an important early ecclesiastical site....associated with St. Eloang (Olan)'.
