The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE-facing slope of a ridge running ridge, in pasture. A medieval church (KK030-013001-) occupies the SE angle of this small, roughly rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 37m NE-SW; c. 19m N-S). According to the OS Letters (1839), the 'burying ground is now neglected, all the interments being made in the Parish Chapel Yard' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 101 (32). Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 320-21) noted in the graveyard, 'but one or two inscribed stones; they date from about the beginning of the 19th century'.
