The National Monuments Service's description

In level area of improved pasture. No visible surface trace. It is named 'Grave Yard' on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and is depicted as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 17m from OS 6-inch map), defined cartographically by a dashed line which implies the area was not physically enclosed. According to Flanagan (1930, vol. 3, 117) there was 'formerly an old burial ground in the Townland of Friar's Field (alias Bomberry's Walk) in a field called Cnocán na h-Adhairce, but it has not been used in the memory of anyone now living.' A possible church (TS059-112010-) and enclosure (TS059-112011-) are c. 50m to N. The field is called 'Knockannahoirky Field' on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map.
