The National Monuments Service's description
Kilnamanagh graveyard is marked as a rectangular feature (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and it is situated on a gentle E-facing slope with the headwaters of a small W-E stream just to the N. The parish church of Kilnamanagh (WX021-024001-) was presumably within it. There are no visible traces of the church or graveyard at ground level, although the graveyard can be seen as a cropmark (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) on an OSI series of aerial photographs (2005). The holy well (WX021-024002-) is c. 35m N of the graveyard.
