The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight rise on the gentle W-facing slope of a low hill. The parish church of Killisk (WX027-025001-) is within a circular enclosure which is truncated by an E-W laneway at S and is now D-shaped (dims. 39m E-W; 32m N-S). The enclosure is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3- 8m; H 0.3-0.7m). There is no evidence of burial, although John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 records that burial had been discontinued for forty years (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 221-2). The site of St Bridget's Well (WX027-024----) is c. 350m to the N.
