The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Countess of Drogheda (1902-3, 235), '… the old Yew Tree Cemetery (was) where there was once a branch of St. Evin's Monastery (KD026-001----), and here was kept for long afterwards St. Evin's bell as a swearing relic.' The surviving remains comprise Yew Tree Graveyard (KD021-001004-), a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD021-001002-) and a church site (KD021-001003-).
