The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the N end of Baltinglass Town, 100m E of the River Slaney. The graveyard (c. 85m E-W; c. 42m N-S) of the Cistercian Abbey at Baltinglass (WI027-024001-). Fitzgerald (1906-8, 411) describes the graveyard as a ‘burial ground [that] contains no slabs or tombs of any antiquity. The earliest dated slab lies near the sedilia at the east end of the abbey: its date is 1699.' (See WI027-024006-).
