The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle to marked S-facing mountain slope in forestry. A possible children's burial ground is located in the E and SE quadrants of Templefinan Graveyard (WI016-009001). Directly to the SE of the church (WI016-009----) there are a few upright hewn granite slabs that may be burial markers from the post-medieval period.
