The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a medieval church (GA105-049002-), which occupies its SE end, this graveyard (c. 110m NW-SE; c. 96m NE-SW) is delimited by a well-built rubble wall with a cement cap. Most of the tombstones date to the 19th and 20th centuries and a number of graves are marked by finely wrought iron crosses.
