The National Monuments Service's description

Associated with the monastic complex at Annaghdown and immediately to the N of the church (GA069-001005-). This graveyard is depicted by a broken line on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly rectangular unenclosed area (c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W). It is now part of a modern graveyard (NE-SW c. 69m; c. 67m NW-SE) that has been extended southwards (c. 61m NW-SE; c. 48m NE-SW) to the E of the church. It is bounded by a plastered concrete wall, interspersed with piers, on the E side and access to it is gained via an iron gateway in this wall with a stile immediately to its S. The enclosing walls on the N, W and S sides are of mass concrete. All the headstones, which are mainly of marble, date to the 20th century. This graveyard now merges with another graveyard (GA069-0010012-) immediately to its S.
