The National Monuments Service's description

This irregularly shaped graveyard (N-S c. 45m; ENE-WSW c. 34m), to the SE of the associated church (GA123-021----), is delimited by a stone wall. Access is via a gateway at NE. Only one headstone, dated 1892, and an iron cross were noted on inspection in August 1982 but following a FÁS graveyard scheme in the early 1990s some formal graves were visible in the SE part of it and a number of unhewn set stones probably marked other graves (Gosling 1995, 6).
