Scattered among them are small upright stones, uninscribed, marking burials whose occupants left no recorded names. It is the kind of place where the documentary record quietly runs out, and the ground itself becomes the only evidence that people were once buried here and remembered, if only by an unmarked stone.

The graveyard is associated with a medieval church that still stands, roughly centrally, within its bounds. The site appears on the 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map simply as "Burial Ground", and by 1916 had been reduced to the more economical "Grave Yd.". The enclosure is roughly subrectangular, running about 70 metres east to west, and is defined by a drystone wall, a type of construction using stones stacked without mortar, standing to around 1.5 metres in height. What gives the site an additional layer of interest is the evidence of the medieval church being quietly absorbed into later funerary practice. A number of architectural fragments from the church have been reused in some of the graves nearby. Just to the northwest of the church, two curving cut-stone fragments, possibly salvaged from a pointed or round-headed arched doorway, were recorded lying flat on a grave when inspected in May 1999; by 2010 they had been set upright. Beside them, another grave-marker appears to be a dressed stone that may once have formed part of a door jamb. A holy well lies approximately 140 metres to the west-southwest, and a possible ecclesiastical enclosure is associated with the wider complex, suggesting this corner of Co. Clare was once a more substantial religious site than the remaining fabric might suggest.

Access to the graveyard is from the roadside through a gateway and stile at the southwest corner. The site is still in active use as a burial ground, so the mix of nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century graves sits alongside those older, unnamed stone uprights in the eastern half, where the ground dips and the history becomes harder to read.
