On the roadside in level pasture and partly enclosed by a stone wall which also bounds some modern farm buildings. A holy well (KD012-008-) lies c. 100m to the NW. The graveyard is not indicated on either Taylor's Map of County Kildare (1783) or on the latest ed. (1909) of the OS 6-inch map. It is, however, shown on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a triangular area (est. max. dims. L c. 100m NW-SE; Wth c. 50m) with an 'RC Chapel in ruins' across the road to the W. The only feature visible is a piece of limestone from the church which bears late-medieval hammer dressing and has been reused as a grave marker.
