The National Monuments Service's description

Stands to E of centre in a graveyard (KD003-014002-). The ivy covered W end of a rectangular structure (int. dims. max. traceable L 10.1m E-W; Wth 4.9m N-S) is built of very mixed and randomly coursed, small, squared blocks and thin flags. The W gable wall (H 3m; T 0.85m) is missing its apex but the sides and sill of a window embrasure survive (Wth 0.4-1m), and a 17th century O'Kelly memorial slab (KD003-014003-) is built into the wall. The levelled E end is occupied by an 18thC 'More-O'Ferrell' burial vault. (Fitzgerald 1896, 448-51; O'Leary 1918-19, 329-330)
