The National Monuments Service's description

Situated high on the NW slope of Colvinstown hill with wide views from S-W-N. Surrounded by forestry on all sides except S. A graveyard associated with Kilranelagh Church (WI027-034001-) which lies within a small D-shaped enclosure (53m E-W; 41m N-S, straight side to the N) within a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (WI027-034005-). The visible headstones both inside and outside the smaller D-shaped enclosure are 18th to 20th century in date and while there are a few recent burials, it is largely disused.
