The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a church (GA119-087001-). This irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 34m N-S; 18m E-W) is bounded by a limestone and concrete wall. Access is via a gateway at E. Numerous recumbent graveslabs are visible as well as three headstones and simple grave-markers. The earliest inscriptions date to the 18th century. A crudely dressed triangular holed stone in the N end of the graveyard may possibly be the endstone of a slab shrine. (Gosling 1993, 92, no. 524)
