The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on level ground, overlooking the valley of the Laune River to the S. A subrectangular area (64m E-W; 52m N-S) defined by straight ivy-covered stone walls on the N and E sides and by a curved wall SE-NW. There is an entrance gate at WSW. The ruins of a church (KE057-078001-) stand in the S half of the graveyard. Some 19th- and early 20th-century gravestones are scattered around the graveyard. There is a concentration of chest tombs close to the W side of the church and some low, uninscribed markers to the E and S of the church. The earliest headstone noted dates to 1822.
