On a gradual E facing slope in flat terrain, surrounded by pasture. Farm buildings to S and W. A rectangular graveyard (dims. 30m N-S; 40m E-W) with a church (TS068-062----) located in the N part of the graveyard. Graveyard is heavily overgrown with trees, scrubs and nettles. The majority of headstones are located S of the church and are late 18th, 19th and early 20th century in date. There are two headstones within the interior of the nave, one a Butler headstone of 18th date and the other a Barrer headstone of 19th/early 20th century date. Towards the W end of the interior of the nave there is a headstone dedicated to the memory of the O'Connor family from 1917 to 1959 which appears to be late 20th century in date.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS068-062001
