Located on the S roadside in level pasture NE of Celbridge village. According to Kirkpatrick (1896, 280-810), 'When the present road from Celbridge was made (c.1725) it was cut right through Donaghcomper churchyard'. The older section of the graveyard survives as a slightly raised rectangular area (dims L c. 33m E-W; Wth c. 30m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.5-0.9m) along its E, S and W sides, and by a modern mortared stone wall along the roadside to the N. It contains a ruined medieval parish church (KD011-013----), and the earliest legible grave markers date to the 18th c. The graveyard has been extended to the E and S and occupies a sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 120m E-W; Wth c. 70m).
