The National Monuments Service's description
The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838-40) noted that 'there is no remembrance of the existence of an old chuch or burying ground at Kilmurry, but several interments have been made in the Chapel yard within the last twenty years. The old chapel of Kilmurry was burnt down during the disturbance of 1798. There are two yew trees growing in the chapel yard, which have been planted within the last 30 years.' (O'Flanagan 1928, 86).
