Situated on the S and E-facing slope of an WNW-ESE ridge, and known locally as 'Teamhair Cemetery'. It may have been a chapel of ease to Kiltullagh parish church (RO032-001001-) c. 9km to the SW in Tuam diocese. There is a trapezoidal graveyard (RO026-007002-) (int. dims 32m N-S; 27.6m E-W at N; 12m E-W at S) defined by conserved masonry walls, which were once drystone-built.
