The National Monuments Service's description
On a break of slope, on the lower S-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. Indicated on the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps as a small rectangular enclosure (c. 20m NNE-SSW; c. 13m WNW-ESE). There are no visible remains of the graveyard. The area is planted with coniferous trees. On the 1838 OS 6-inch map, a small roughly square area (10m N-S; 10m E-W) defined by a broken line, abuts the N half of its WNW side.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
