The National Monuments Service's description

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved roughly oval graveyard (N-S c. 70m, E-W c. 40m) enclosed from S through W to N by an earthen bank, and elsewhere by a mortared stone wall. The interior is overgrown and all the visible burials are post-1800 in date.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
