The National Monuments Service's description

Situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope in the valley of a SE-NW stream that joins the N-S River Lask c. 750m to the NW, and close to its source. The parish church of Kilnahue (WX006-061001-) is within an oval graveyard (dims 50m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by a stone-revetted earthen bank. There is a cross-base (WX006-061003-), lying loose just N of the church. Souterrain (WX006-061004-) is outside the graveyard, c. 25m N of the church.
