The National Monuments Service's description

On a level landscape on the W side of the Athlone to Roscommon town road (N 61). The burial ground to the W of the Quaker meeting house (RO042-172001-) is a rectangular enclosure (int. dims 27.5m E-W; 20.2m N-S) defined by drystone-built walls (Wth 0.8m; H 0.8m) which are largely collapsed. An entrance cannot be identified, and there are only two graves visible that post-date the abandonment of the meeting house in 1848. (Goodbody 2013)
