A roughly square graveyard (dims. c. 33m N-S; c. 30m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall, located immediately N of a public road. The interior is heavily overgrown with scrub (visible on Google Earth satellite imagery date May 2009). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 486), 'The old Catholic parish church [KK024-031001-] stood on the site of the present Protestant church of Bennetsbridge, and was probably cleared away when the latter was built by Colonel John Shee, in 1795. The surrounding graveyard is very small and very old; it is still, occasionally, used for Catholic interments'. The C of I church was demolished in 1960 (O'Kelly 1969, 98).
