The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with an Augustinian abbey (LF018-066001-), which is located at its E end. This roughly subrectangular graveyard (112m E-W; 73m N-S) is enclosed by a late 19th-century stone wall and is still in use. Memorials date from the 18th century. Mass is celebrated on a stone altar within it on 'Cemetery Sunday' in July every year. (ITA Survey 1944; Higgins 1971, 110-12; Lennon 2005)
