The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the W edge of a fold in a gentle S-facing slope. The parish church of Balfeaghan (ME049-017----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 53m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE at NE to c. 35m NW-SE at SW) with the NW-SE Summerhill to Kilcock road (R158) outside on the SW side. It is defined by masonry walls and contains headstones dating mostly from c. AD 1850 to 2000, but there is one dated 1724.
