The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in a low-lying, level landscape within Newtown Gore village. There is a Church of Ireland church within the rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by masonry walls, but this church was built since 1835 and on the 6-inch map of that year Moyagh Church (LE026-016001-) is within small oval enclosure (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by broken lines. The present graveyard has a few headstones dating from 1733 at the old church to the present.
