The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a church (GA125-022001-), which is located in its NE sector. This roughly D-shaped graveyard (c. 56m ENE-WSW) with a straight W side (L c. 48m) is enclosed by a limestone boulder wall along the N, E and S sides and by a rendered wall capped with concrete along the roadside on the W side. Access is via a gateway in the W wall. The majority of the headstones date to the 20th century but some dating to the 19th century are visible to the E and SE of the church. Within the church one burial vault dates to the 18th century.
