Situated on a slight rise in a level landscape, with the fold of a small S-N steam just to the E, and the stream itself is c. 20m distant. Although the parish church of Killegland (ME045-004----) is not marked on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6" map the enclosure is described in italic lettering as a 'Grave Yard' and in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. The graveyard is a subcircular area (dims 47m N-S; c. 43m E-W) defined by a masonry wall that has an entrance gate and stile at E. The few headstones date mostly from c. 1900 to the present, but a headstone lying prone in the chancel of the church has the date 1724. Inside the perimeter of the graveyard is the rath (ME045-004002-).
