The National Monuments Service's description

Associated with the monastic complex at Annaghdown and surrounding the church (GA069-001011-) and round tower (GA069-001016-. This graveyard (c. 78m NW-SE; c. 63m NE-SW) now merges with another graveyard (GA069-001006-) immediately to its N. It is defined along its E side by a continuation of the E wall of N graveyard: a plastered concrete wall interspersed with piers. Access is gained by a series of steps at its N end. The S and W walls are of mortared construction and the S wall is almost completely overgrown with ivy. The N end opens onto a clear grassy area. Burials are marked by mainly upright headstones dating to the 19th and 20th centuries but a number of 18th-century recumbent inscribed graveslabs are also visible to the N of the church. A much-collapsed vault is visible to its SW.
