The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a marked SW-facing slope. A modern graveyard contained within a quadrangular enclosure (max. dims. 75m NE-SW; 60m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; H 1.3m) and slight indications of an external fosse (Wth 1.5m); the NW and NE perimeters have been replaced by modern walls with an entrance at the NE. There is a circular granite font fixed to the graveyard wall and there are a number of eighteenth-century gravestones.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
