The National Monuments Service's description
This subrectangular graveyard (60m E-W; 40m N-S), which was very heavily overgrown at the time of visit, is enclosed by a modern concrete wall. The entrance is in the S wall. The majority of the headstones date to the 20th century but some illegible ones may be of 19th-century date. The remains of ‘Kilquain Church’ (GA108-224----) are in the NW part of the graveyard and it is surrounded by an enclosure (GA108-224002-).
