The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in marshy grassland. This irregularly shaped burial ground (c. 55m E-W; c. 30m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall and is accessed by a gateway at NW. It is still in use and all the headstones are modern. However, there is a bullaun stone (GA124-005001-) within it.
