The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying landscape. This is a subtriangular graveyard (dims c. 45-75m E-W; c. 40m N-S) extending E from a NW-SE road and associated with a post-Penal Roman Catholic church (MO028-134001-). The graveyard is defined by masonry walls but has rather few headstones dating from the early nineteenth century. There is no evidence that there was a mass-rock here (Ó Gallachair 1957, 119).
