The National Monuments Service's description
This L-shaped graveyard (c. 103m NE-SW; c. 72m NW-SE) occupies most of the interior of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA108-76003-). The remains of a church (GA108-076001-) stand roughly in its centre. It is enclosed by a modern stone and concrete wall with an entrance at S. The graveyard is still in use and most the burials date to the 19th and 20th centuries. The earliest headstone noted is dated 1768. A number of uninscribed rough grave-markers are also visible.
