The National Monuments Service's description
The remains of the graveyard have been completely cleared and landscaped to create Le Fanu Park. This was attached to the medieval parish church of Ballyfermot, described by D'Alton (1838, 639) as being in perfect condition. In 1978 when the site was inspected (OPW) there were still foundations of the church and some gravestones of 19th century date. Archaeological test excavation was carried during October 1998 at the corner of Le Fanu Road and Raheen Road, Ballyfermot, Co. Dublin. Test excavations carried out in1998 uncovered the graveyard wall and articulated and disarticulated human remains within the boundary of the graveyard (O'Donovan 2000, 35)
