N of the Kings River, near Ennisnag Bridge, in the SE quadrant of a crossroads. A graveyard associated with the medieval church of Ennisnag (KK027-020001-) which, according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374), ‘became a ruin soon after the Reformation, and was taken down about 1820, to supply materials for the present Protestant Church, which stands at its west end. Its patron was St. Mogue, whose feast day was celebrated on the 14th Feb.’. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch the graveyard is indicated but does not seem to be enclosed, however, on the 25-inch OS map the graveyard is shown as extending from the stream, which forms the NE and E side, to the road in the W (dims. c. 113m E-W; c. 36m N-S). This stream flows into the Kings River c. 30m to the S. A road also runs along the NW boundary of the graveyard. Within the graveyard there are two medieval graveslabs (KK027-020003-/KK027-020004-).
