The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in an urban site to the N of the junction of Stillorgan Road and Merville Road. A walled graveyard the interior level rises above street level to the location of the present Church of Ireland church (dated 1712). The memorials are 18th and 19th century in date. The graveyard wall encloses the site of a medieval church (DU023-011001-) associated in the 13th century with the Priory of the Holy Trinity (Turner 1983, 59). The curving plan of the present walled-in graveyard (DU023-011002-) indicates the possible existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (DU023-011004-).
