The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf at the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin, and of early ecclesiastical origin. A triangular area (dims 12.5m E-W; 12.5m N-S) defined by the S wall of the church (RO003-020001-), the drystone wall overlying its E end, and the NE-SW drystone wall and townland boundary with Lyonstown to the N is strewn with grave markers.
See the attached view from the W with the mass-rock in the right background.
