The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the E of the graveyard (GA088-008----). This trapezoidal-shaped graveyard widens towards its WSW end and is bounded on three sides by much-collapsed stone walls. A field fence delimits the NNW side. Access is gained through a gateway at NW. The interior is divided into four sections by two sunken pathways that dissect one another in the centre. Graves are in lines running ENW-WSW and consist of rectangular sunken depressions (L 2m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m) marked by small, uninscribed, iron, ringed crosses (H 0.4m). The burial ground probably dates from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
