The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in an undulating landscape on the floor of the Glenfarne valley. The church listed in the Register of Clonmacnoise (LE012-013001-) (O'Donavan1857, 451) was probably located within the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) depicted on the 1835 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a Burial Ground on both. The graveyard has been extended to the S (dims c. 90m NNE-SSW; 37m WNW-ESE) defined by modern masonry walls, but the older N part is overlying a grass-covered oval ecclesiastical enclosure (LE012-013003-).
