The National Monuments Service's description

Located off crossroads amidst rolling countryside. This is a walled graveyard which is oval in plan. The wall is planted with sycamores and elders. There is a broad earthen bank evident outside the graveyard (DU011-031001-). Within the graveyard are the ruins of a church (DU011-031002-). The interior is raised above external ground level (H1.50m). The graveyard contains grave markers dating from 18th century, the earliest of which appears to be 1701. The graveyard was previously surveyed (Egan 1992). Still in use.
