The National Monuments Service's description
This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 100m E-W; c. 50m N-S) is divided into two sections. The E half is associated with the medieval church (GA044-047002-) in its NE sector and the earliest noted headstone, dating to 1824, occurs in this section. Most burials now occur in the W half of the graveyard.
