The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S side of the Main Street of Clonee village. In July 1965 human remains were discovered on a building site. There was no evidence for stones that might have formed the grave lining and the graves appeared to be simple dug graves. A number of clay pipe stems were found in the fill. They were thought to be post-seventeenth-century in date (Cahill & Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 283-284) but may be connected with the medieval chapel (ME051-007----) and its graveyard (ME051-007001-).
