The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying position in an undulating landscape and on the N bank of a small NE-SW stream. The site of what was probably the first post-Penal Roman Catholic church of Drumshanbo (LE023-0280001-) is within an L-shaped graveyard (dims c. 80m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls, which is no longer used for burial. Two holy-water stoups from the church are incorporated into the graveyard wall by the roadside at the NE end.
