The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated graveyard within townland , described by Carrigan as 'The church (LA022-049001-) of Kilcoke stood within the precincts of a small graveyard on the 'Church Hill' of Kilcoke. It has long been obliterated. The graveyard is still used, but only for the interment of unbaptized children (LA022-049002-). There are some rough uninscribed headstones. The church was dedicated to, and received its name from St. Coca, Virgin, probably the same who is commemorated in the Martyrology of Donegal on June 6th' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 141-2).
