On a low hillock in generally flat terrain on a valley floor, at the foot of the Knockmealdown mountains. Within this irregularly shaped graveyard (max. dims. 109m N-S; 79m E-W) there is a possible hall-house (TS087-022001-), a church (TS087-022002-) and the latter has two sheela-na-gigs (TS087-022003-; TS087-022004-) incorporated in the fabric.
