The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a medieval church (LF013-018----). This rectangular graveyard (74m N-S; 24m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall and is overgrown with scrub; it is no longer in use. Memorials date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Two cross-slabs (LF013-018002- and LF013-018003-) have been placed in a display unit close to the W wall. A bullaun stone (LF013-018001-) is visible nearby. Archaeological testing and monitoring undertaken in 2000 adjacent to the W wall revealed no archaeological features or artifacts (Walsh 2002, 203). (Gray 1940, 29, 32; 1943, 22-4, 26; ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005)
