On a slight W-facing slope with stream flowing NW-SE c. 120m to the SW along the valley floor. A irregularly shaped graveyard (dims. c. 68m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW), slightly D-shaped with a curve from NW-SE which is respected by the road which skirts the edge of the graveyard. It is enclosed by a stone wall. The OS Letters (1839) describe the 'burying ground of Tighfiachna' as, 'a repectable popular looking place', though no trace of the church (KK009-041001-) remains (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 93 (31)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 331), mentions that there are, 'many inscribed monuments dating from the early part of the 18th century onward'. There are also numerous small, rough, unmarked grave markers. There is no visible trace at ground level of a church within the graveyard.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
