The National Monuments Service's description
Possibly associated with a medieval church (LF009-026001-). This rectangular graveyard (40m N-S; 36m E-W) is defined by rubble-built stone walls and access is via a gate in the W wall. Centrally located is a 19th-century church (C of I) that may have been built on the site of the earlier medieval church (Devaney 1981, 6). Adjoining it to the N is a separate graveyard (RC), also accessed by a gate on its W side. Memorials in both graveyards date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. (Lennon 2005)
