The National Monuments Service's description

Disused roughly circular graveyard containing a large number of 18th, 19th and 20th-century inscribed gravestones, the earliest dating to 1720. In addition there are a number of uninscribed crude stone crosses and grave-markers. Davies (1948, 96) recorded this as the location of 'the old parish church in Gallonreagh' and noted that a field c. 160m to W is known as 'Church Field' (CV038-067----). No visible remains of church at ground level.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
