There are no distinct features to indicate the 'Old Burial Ground' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The site is a raised rocky area roughly 35m E-W and 15m N-S.

Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
