Cemetery, established post-1902, with various cut-stone markers. Road fronted with limestone ashlar piers having pyramidal capping, iron double gates, random squared rubble limestone curved flanking walls having coping, limestone ashlar outer piers having pyramidal capping, and random rubble limestone boundary wall to perimeter of site having coping.
Containing a collection of markers of artistic interest displaying high quality craftsmanship a cemetery makes a pleasing visual impression in the street scene on the road leading out of Paulstown or Whitehall (Shankill) to the south.
