The National Monuments Service's description

Contains a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD018-019004-), a church site (KD018-019001-) and a holy well (KD018-019002-). A large, sub rectangular area (dims. L c. 150m E-W; Wth c. 100m) is enclosed by a modern, mortared-stone wall and is bordered by the River Liffey to the S and by a small tributary of the Liffey to the E. Older burials occur at the centre of the graveyard, the earliest legible burial markers dating to the 18th century with more modern burial occurring nearer the perimeters of the site.
