Situated on a level, low-lying landscape, c. 470m NE of the SE-NW Goish stream. The parish church of Aglish (WA034-003001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims. c. 55m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by stone-clad earthen bank at E and masonry walls on the other sides. A fragment of a cross, an octagonal font and a 17th century graveslab recorded by Power (1938a, 57-8) are now missing, but three crudely decorated headstones also mentioned by him and probably of 18th century in date are close to the perimeter of the graveyard at S. The font or stop (ibid.) is probably the base of the stem of an ocagonal wayside cross (dims. 0,28m x 0.28m; H 0.42m) with pyramid stops, which is inside the gateway at N. There are two fragments of a pointed and chamfered doorway in the graveyard close to the perimeter at SE and SW. (Power 1898a, 202-06)
