The graveyard is irregular in shape, roughly rectangular but tapering downslope to SE and a roadway skirts the N wall. The enclosing stone wall has been recently repointed and the graveyard cleaned up under a FÁS scheme. The earliest noted headstone dates to 1778 and there are numerous other eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones. There is no visible evidence of medieval fragments in the graveyard or surrounding wall. A 'stump of a Castle' (TN041-021001) in the townland is referred to in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 54). According to OS Letters the castle 'fell on the night of the last hurricane, 6th January 1838' and 'some of the rubbish of the foundation of a castle may still be seen in one corner' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 8). A stone platform surmounted by a crucifix has been built in the NW angle on the supposed site of the castle (TN041-021001). Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
