The National Monuments Service's description

On the brow of a gentle S-facing slope commanding excellent views of the surrounding countryside, except directly W where ground level rises. The medieval church (KK024-062001-) of Tullaherin is roughly aligned E-W, on the N boundary of the graveyard, with a round tower (KK024-062003-) in the NW angle of the graveyard. The graveyard is roughly rectangular in plan (dims. 53.4m E-W; 33m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall and entered from its S side. It contains several headstones and table-tombs of the 18th-20th centuries and many unmarked uprights, some of which are reused architectural fragments from the adjacent medieval church. In more recent years the graveyard has been extended to the S occupying a large rectangular area (dims. c. 57m NE-SW; c. 63m NW-SE) between the old graveyard and the public road.
