The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground at the S end of a long avenue on the landscaped Killadoon Demesne. An L-shaped area (dims. L 38m NNE-SSW; Wth along N 31m; Wth along S 16m) is defined by a low mortared stone wall, except along the S where it ends at outbuildings which are part of the courtyard immediately N of Killadoon House. The interior is higher than the surrounding ground (av. H 1m) and is totally overgrown with ivy, ash, holly, laurel and briar. The earliest legible headstone is dated 1816. The foundations of a ruined church (KD0111-006----) lie just N of centre.
