The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture on low-lying ground on the N bank of a small E-W stream, c. 100m from its confluence with the Colligan River, which here is a tidal mud-flat (Wth c. 250m) turning from a W-E direction to a N-S direction c. 2km N of Dungarvan town. It is marked 'Site of Grave Yard' only on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It was known locally as Cill Bheag - the little church - and was reputedly the burial ground of soldiers who died in a local battle (Power 1952, 141). Nothing is visible at ground level.
