Situated on the S side of what was once an island in Emlagh bog. The site of the early monastery and parish church of Emlagh is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 45-65m N-S; c. 30-40m E-W) defined by earthen banks and hedges. In the interior are the remains of a mortuary enclosure (ext. dims 7m E-W; 5m N-S) with some 20th century headstones. The head of a cross (ME011-039004-), now taken into care by Meath County Council, was found in the graveyard in 2107. About 60m from the mortuary enclosure and at the base of the knoll on which it is situated is a slight scarp or ditch (Wth c. 5m; D 0.2-0.4m) N-E-S, which may form part of an ecclesiastical enclosure (ME011-039002-).
