The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular graveyard (c. 50m E-W; c. 25m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall. The interior is covered by scrub overgrowth and only six inscribed memorials are evident. The ruin of the medieval parish church of Kilshalvy (SL039-116001-) lies off-centre to the E. A small fragment of a quernstone which was found here is in the NMI (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney).
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).
