The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. A roughly square graveyard (c. 40m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall, with a road skirting the N and E sides. Inscribed headstones date from 1833 to the early 20th century; uninscribed grave-markers were noted near the outer limits at E, S and W. Overgrown mounds occur at E and at W. The site of a church (KE068-003001-) is within the graveyard.
