The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland in a house cluster named 'Chapelfeenaghty' on OS 6-inch maps. The Ahascragh-Ballygar road runs through it on a NNW-SSE axis. To E of the road is an irregularly shaped graveyard (NNW-SSE c. 80m, ENE-WSW c. 35m) (GA061-089003-), named but not clearly marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. Roughly D-shaped in plan, its notably curving E wall also forms the td. boundary. Though modern, this may preserve a segment of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure curving from N through E to SSE. However, immediately outside the graveyard at SE are faint traces of a separate curving bank following a completely different projection. It consists of an arc of a low wide earthen bank (L 12m, Wth 5.6m, H 0.5m max.) visible from SSE to SSW. Within the graveyard are the sites of two post-medieval RC chapels (GA061-089004-, GA061-089005-) and a souterrain (GA061-089006-), and there is a holy well (GA061-089002-) outside it to NE. Finally, the field to E of the graveyard is known as the 'Chapel Acre'. Another large enclosure (GA061-090----) lies c. 80m to N.
