The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual E facing slope in flat terrain, surrounded by pasture. Farm buildings to S and W. A rectangular graveyard (dims. 30m N-S; 40m E-W) with a church (TS068-062----) located in the N part of the graveyard. Graveyard is heavily overgrown with trees, scrubs and nettles. The majority of headstones are located S of the church and are late 18th, 19th and early 20th century in date. There are two headstones within the interior of the nave, one a Butler headstone of 18th date and the other a Barrer headstone of 19th/early 20th century date. Towards the W end of the interior of the nave there is a headstone dedicated to the memory of the O'Connor family from 1917 to 1959 which appears to be late 20th century in date.
