A modern graveyard wall possibly built on traces of an older enclosure. Within the graveyard (DG074-009008-) is Kilrean church (DG074-009001-). In a field SW of the graveyard is a grassed-over V-shaped stone-walled structure (DG074-009005-), 8.5m x 6.5m with an open end to the N. The wall is .5m wide. SE of the graveyard is a holy well (DG074-009003-) and to the E of the enclosure is an erratic boulder or piece of rock outcrop 1.65m x .85m with a carved rock-basin (DG074-009002-) .36m in diameter and 0.14m in depth. The site is located on generally rocky marshy land.
