The National Monuments Service's description

At crossroads, on S side of road; subrectangular graveyard (c. 50m SW-NE; c. 60m NW-SE) enclosed by stone wall. In occasional use; recent extension on W side. Inscribed headstones date from late 18th century; earliest stone noted dated 1783. Site of ancient parish church of Clondrohid; new C of Ichurch built about the year 1756 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 122-3); this was, according to Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 355), 'a large plain edifice, rebuilt in 1829'. This church shown at N end of graveyard on 1842 OS 6-inch map; it was 'taken down' in 1883 when parish united with Macroom (Cole 1903, 181). There is now no visible surface trace of church. Immediately outside gate to W are two bullaun stones (CO070-039001-; CO070-120----).
