The National Monuments Service's description

Located in the grounds of Malahide Castle (DU012-030----) opposite the recently renovated Courtyard. This is a relatively small sub-circular graveyard enclosed by a battlemented wall (E-W c. 40m, N-S c. 45m) and curving hedgerow. It is raised in the centre and dominated by the church (DU012-031001-) the interior of which has been used for internment. The graveyard contains a number of inscribed 18th, 19th and early to mid-20th century gravestones. There are also undecorated grave markers and possibly reused architectural fragments. At least two examples of fallen slabs (one external and one internal to church) have been replaced by modern stones with original inscriptions eg. Lambs-1789 Peter 109 years, his wife died 1791 100 years, they lived together for 80 years.
Monitoring (Licence no. C451; E4381) of the insertion of services during the redevelopment of the Malahide Castle & Gardens uncovered skeletal remains on the curving path 1m externally to the graveyard. These remains were uncovered at a depth of approximately 0.5m below the surface and were aligned east to west. All four individuals were truncated at the west by a modern service trench.
