The National Monuments Service's description
A roughly square area enclosed by the townland boundary on all sides except the W where there is a curve in the boundary indicating the former existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (DU015-031001-). St Fintan's graveyard has been extended significantly to the southeast and northwest. the oldest section known as the 1189 section adjoins St Fintan's church. To the east is the 1907 section and to the west is the 1954 section. The newest extends downslope to the west as is known as the 'lawn' as it contains only flat gravemarkers (Fingal Historic Graveyards Project 2008). Still in use.
