In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about Cross No. 1121: 'Kildrum Graveyard is situated on the N side of the Dingle Peninsula 4km NE of Dingle. It is situated on an elevated site at 50m OD on the lower ENE slopes of Leathaoibh with views S over Dingle Harbour and Mount Brandon to the NE. The old graveyard [KE043-130001-] is studded with around three hundred small unnamed headstones, notched grave markers and cross-slabs that are disposed around the interior. The spatial and density patterning of these gravemarkers most likely reflect the location of the medieval church [KE043-130----] and also the oval enclosure that is evident on the 1st Ed OS map of 1841. There are no visible, above ground, coherent, remains of the medieval church of Kildrum today. Cross-slab (1121), of local green sandstone, is anthropomorphic in form with roughly made rounded truncated type arms and head and is also possibly Early Medieval, 0.56m x 0.47m x 0.05m'.
