The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S-facing slope of a broad N-S spur with the northern end of Derrybrick Lough visible to the SE and the northern end of Drumlane Lough visible to the SW, both of which are at the NW edge of the Lough Oughter complex of lakes. The church (CV014-028003-) and round tower (CV014-028002-) are within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 47m E-W) defined by masonry walls with headstones dating from c. 1750. There is a record of a cross-inscribed stone (CV014-028006-) in the N pier of the entrance gate. The graveyard has been extended to the N and a new graveyard has been built N of the carpark since 2005 (OSAP).
