The National Monuments Service's description

Associated with a church (LF013-032002-). Depicted on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular 'Burying Ground' (c. 45m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NNW-SSE), with the church adjacent to the boundary at SW, and accessed by a laneway from the public road. The graveyard has since been extended and is now within the W end of a very large (c. 310m E-W; c. 160m N-S), approximately rectangular, 19th-century graveyard with a 20th-century extension. The modern graveyard is bounded by block concrete walls, post-and-wire fences and clay embankments with six gates and a single stile on the SE side and one large and one small gate on the SW side. Memorials in the 'Burying Ground' date from the mid-18th to the late 19th centuries. (ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005)
