The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope, with good views to the SW and NE. A small sub-square graveyard (int. dims. c. 34m), the NE corner of which is rounded. It is associated with a medieval church (KK027-038001-) called, ‘White Church’. The OS Letters (1839) noted, ‘a small graveyard still in use at this place’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 89-90 (29)). When visited in 1994, after the graveyard had been cleaned up, it was noted that all the headstones dated from the 19th century onwards.
