The National Monuments Service's description

The graveyard (DG080-013009-) here at Glencolumbkille Church of Ireland (National Monument no. 139) (DG080-013004-) is said to occupy the site of an ancient ecclesiastical site founded by St. Colmcille (Lacy 1983, 289). It has been said (Herity 1971, 14) that some traces of a circular enclosure survives although no sign of these were noted during the survey (Lacy 1983, 289).
