Within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL045-011003-). A rectangular area (48.6m WNW-ESE; 38.2m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a modern stone wall with a recent extension to the E (18m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a concrete wall. The church (SL045-011001-) is just S of the centre of the interior. A drop in ground level in the S third of the graveyard, c. 4m S of the church, is marked by a scarp (H 0.5m) which extends E-W across the full length of the graveyard. The majority of headstones date to the late 19th and 20th centuries but interspersed amongst them are several uninscribed grave-markers, some in N-S rows. In the W half are five small rectangular grave-plots (the largest measuring 8.4m x 5.65m) defined by roughly built drystone walls (H c. 0.8m) incorporating some stones possibly robbed from the church and, according to local information, some stone from a leacht cuimhne (SL045-011004-). Attached to the wall of one of these grave-plots is a late 18th/ early 19th-century plaque (Wth 0.45m; H 0.87m), with the dates of 1732 and 1733 (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney), depicting the crucifixion above a coat of arms. In 1836 it was recorded that the graveyard was known as 'Temple-Ronaun' (OSNB vol. 1, 490) which is pronounced 'Teampul Ronan' (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney).
