The National Monuments Service's description
This graveyard occupies the almost square grass-covered cloister area (c. 26m3m NW-SE; c. 25.8m NE-SW) of the abbey (GA069-001013-). There are two burials along the W wall and two rows of burials in its E half. All date to the 20th century and the majority are marked by upright headstones. Two recumbent slabs were noted but these were almost totally grass covered. No inscriptions were visible on them but the exposed surfaces were rough suggesting that the inscribed side of the slab was face down.
