The National Monuments Service's description
Excavation of the ecclesiastical enclosure (KE070-043----) revealed evidence of eighteen contemporaneous graves in the areas to the E, W and S of the church (KE070-043007-), with the main concentration occurring to the S, the area where the shrine (KE070-043003-) was also located. Three separate types of grave were present, simple dug graves, lintel graves and slab-lined cists. (see Sheehan 1994, 41-2; 1995, 43-4; 1996, 40-41; 1997, 47; 1998, 82; 2000a, 89; 2000b, 112; 2004, 211-12; 2006, 214)
