The National Monuments Service's description
The present St. Nahi's Church of Ireland (1760) at Taney occupies the site of an earlier church(DU022-016002-). A raised graveyard lies S of the present church(DU022-016003-). The ground falls away steeply to the NW and SW. Within the interior of the gravyard there is a distinct fall (D 3m), a berm with a further fall (5m) to the surounding ground level. The distinct curvature in the SW section of the graveyard boundary may indicate the line of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. An Early Christian grave slab was recently exposed in the graveyard, fragments of which are kept in the present church(DU022-016005-).
