The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle NW-facing slope. The parish church of Culmullen (ME043-017----) is within a five-sided graveyard (max. dims c. 70m WNW-ESE; c. 37-60m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls, with the apex at N and a WNW-ESE lane outside the perimeter at S. The headstones date from 1707 to 1966, and one in Gaelic is known (McClenaghan (1921-25). The font (ME043- 017002-) from the graveyard is now in grounds of Culmullin House (ME043-018001-), c. 250m to the SSE.
