The National Monuments Service's description
This roughly subcircular graveyard (c. 65m NW-SE; c. 57m NE-SW) lies within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA106-095005-). The remains of a church (GA106-095001-) stand roughly in its centre. The graveyard is delimited by a modern concrete wall and access is gained via a gateway at S. Almost all of the headstones are modern but three similar rectangular grave-markers were illegible. The graveyard is still in use.
