The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll in an undulating landscape and at the head of a valley that extends off to the NE. The headwaters of a stream that follows the valley to debouch into Milltown Lough are in the immediate vicinity. The parish church of Killane (CV028-027----) is within a circular graveyard (diam. c. 70m NE-SW; c. 65m NW-SE) with few headstones defined by a slight bank and hedge with an external stone facing and by a masonry wall at the roadside S-W.
