The National Monuments Service's description

In pastureland c. 700m to the WNW of Killimor village. This roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 55m E-W; c. 45m N-S) is delimited by a rendered stone wall capped with concrete. Access is gained through a gateway at NE. The remains of a medieval church (GA107-109001-) occupy its N half. Apart from one medieval graveslab (GA107-109002-) located within the church, the burials date from the late 18th century to the 20th century.
