The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a prominent rise in an undulating landscape. The church (ME043-015----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 30m N-S) retained by masonry walls, and its few headstones dating from 1740 to 1953 have been recorded (Moore 1975, 45-9). The head of a latin cross (ME043-015002-) from the graveyard is now outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s at Moynalvy (ME043-028----), c. 1.6km to the S (ibid. 46-7).
