The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on Kilmallock Hill with historic town of Kilmallock (LI047-022001-) 715m to SSE. Medieval ruins of Kilmallock Church (LI047-019001-) dedicated to St. Mocheallog stands in centre of graveyard which is depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. On this map the small graveyard is depicted as a roughly square-shaped area (approx. dims. 23m N-S x 25m E-W) shown in dotted outline. The outline of this graveyard boundary is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Graveyard described by Begley (1906, 94) as 'a graveyard attached to the ruin, but it is now scarcely ever used'.
