In flat terrain in generally undulating terrain. Steam downslope c. 50m to the N. A public road runs outside the N and E side of the graveyard and a laneway runs along the western boundary. A roughly sub-rectangular graveyard (dims. 46m NW-SE; 60m NE-SW) with a 13th-century church (KK001-005001-) located in the NE angle. The ground S of the church is significantly raised as a result of continuous burials over many centuries. The graveyard boundary is formed by a wall to the N, E and S and by a hedge on the W side. There is an entrance gate in the E wall and a stile at the S end of the E wall. A 17th-century plaque (KK001-005003-) commemorates the restoration of the church in 1646, though it appears to have been destroyed four years later by Cromwellian forces. The church was extensively reconstructed by FÁS between 1984-7. In 2005-06 the boundary wall of the graveyard was rebuilt and repaired and landscaping work around the church was carried out. The majority of the headstones within the church and in the graveyard date to the 18th century. The most recent headstone bears the date 2013.
