The National Monuments Service's description
At the N end and abutted N-E-S by the 16th green of the Athy Golf Club, and skirted by a laneway at NW. A low but prominent hillock is enclosed by a mortared stone wall delimiting a rectangular area (45m NW-SE; 36.5m NE-SW; H 2.5m at SE). The well-maintained interior contains a dense concentration of 19th and 20th-century headstones and a few flat graveslabs. The foundations of a possible church (KD035-018001-) occur just SW of centre.
