The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S bank in a loop of the NW-SE Faun River, with the stream c. 50m to the NE. The round tower (MO029-021002-) together with the sites of St. Daeg’s early church and the medieval parish church of Inishkeen (MO029-031001-) are within a sub-triangular graveyard (max. dims c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) defined by masonry walls and with a right-angle at the SW. The three mausoleums (ME029-031003-) are in a line just SE of the present church building. A gradiometer survey (17R0133) by J. M. Leigh in the playing field just to the S was dominated by modern disturbance and no archaeological features were recognised.
