The National Monuments Service's description
On a level plateau with a church (TS059-127002-) on the N side of the graveyard, in the village of Kilfeakle. Architectural fragments consisting of cut and dressed stones are incorporated into the modern graveyard wall. These were probably originally part of the church fabric. The earliest identified headstone is located within the interior of the church and is dedicated to Loobey, dating to 1730. The graveyard is depicted on the 1st (1840) edition OS 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular area, broadening towards the E (dims. c. 30-42m N-S; c. 66m E-W). According to White (1892, 55), 'the ruins of the old Parish Chapel adjoin the church-yard, and are between it and the road from Cashel to Tipperary.'
