The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of the NW-facing slope of a N-S ridge. The parish church of Lisnakill (WA017-023001-) is within a rectangular graveyard (WA017-023002-) defined by a stone wall or stone-faced earthen bank, which was built since c. 1840 at the behest of a Mrs. Margaret Power, according to a plaque. A stoup, or possibly a bullaun stone (Power 1895b, 167-8), is now missing but a fragment of a twin-light, ogee-headed window is in the graveyard.
Power, Rev. P. (1895b) The ancient ruined churches of Waterford. WAJ. 1, 133-41, 152-72; 247-53.
