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 (WX007-061002-) defined by stone-revetted earthen bank. There is a cross-base, an irregularly-shaped, flat-topped stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.4m; H 0.4m) with a rectangular mortice (dims. 0.26m; x 0.1m; D 0.1m) lying loose just N of the church, and souterrain (WX006-061004-) is outside the graveyard, c. 25m N of the church.
