The National Monuments Service's description
This irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 60m NE-SE; c. 58m NW-SE), which is still in use, is associated with a medieval church (GA095-051----) that occupies its NW corner. It is enclosed by a stone wall and access is gained at SE. Most of the headstones are modern but the earliest noted dated to 1681. One unusual grave-marker consists of a slab with a rounded head bearing a Maltese cross.
