Located in an area of rough pastureland and outcropping rock at the SE end of Inisbofin Island and immediately to the S of a roadway. Indicated as a roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 98m NNE-SSW; c. 60m E-W) on the 1896 resurvey of the OS 6-inch map, it has since been extended to the W. A medieval church (GA099D014001-) is located in its S half and traces of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (GA009D014003-), defined by a scarp line, are visible around the church from N through E to SE. Two holy wells are located within it at SW (GA009D014005-) and SE (GA009D014004-), as well as a bullaun (GA009D014008-). A number of cross-slabs (GA009D014006-, GA009D014007-, GA009D014010-, GA009D014011-) and two crosses (GA009D014012-, GA009D014013-) are also associated. The earliest burials occur around the church and consist of stone-lined graves and simple grave-markers. Modern burials occur to the N and NW of the church and the extension to the W. The graveyard is enclosed by a capped boulder wall and access is gained at NW.
