A triangular graveyard (dims. c. 60m NE-SW; c. 54m NW-SE) which rises above the surrounding ground level. A public road runs along the NW side, with an entrance in the enclosing stone wall in the N portion of the NW side. The entrance is defined by two square cut limestone piers and a wrought-iron gate, with a stile immediately W of it. The medieval church (KK023-014001-) was located in the SE portion of the graveyard. The OS Letters (1839) describe, 'a large burying ground attached' to the church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 264-5 (89)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 228) notes that, 'The graveyard contains many inscribed monuments but none of them dating farther bank than the beginning of the 18th century'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK023-014002
