In wooded ground just S of Athgarvan House and overlooking the River Liffey less than 20m to the E. Marked as an unenclosed graveyard on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. A very poorly preserved and heavily overgrown roughly rectangular area, the limits of which are unclear, (est. c. 60m N-S; c. 30m E-W), contains the ruins of a church (KD023-029----). Legible grave markers date to the 18th and 19th centuries.
