The graveyard, which was extended and tidied up around 1968, remains in use today and contains a remarkable collection of medieval stone monuments alongside the ruins of an old church and a holy well. During the 1968 restoration, a grassy mound at right angles to the church’s south wall was transformed into a rectangular cairn, its flat top now paved with historic grave slabs.

The ruined church at the heart of the site was already described as derelict in 1622, and by 1835 only portions of the south wall, standing about 15 feet high, and the nearly ground level north wall remained. The structure measures 17.5 metres by 6.5 metres internally, with the surviving original fabric consisting mainly of an ivy covered central section of the south wall and the lower courses of the north wall. At the eastern end of the church, within a modern enclosure, sits a broken altar base with chamfered sides that once supported diagonal corner pillars. This base holds an intriguing collection of objects including fragments of four rotary quern stones, a small rock basin with a shallow depression, and various pieces of dressed stonework, some featuring medieval moulding profiles and characteristic Romanesque ornament.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Conwal is its extraordinary collection of carved stone slabs, many bearing cruciform designs dating from the early medieval period. These include eighteen documented stones, ranging from simple incised crosses to elaborate wheeled crosses with hollow angles and interlace patterns. One particularly notable slab features a human figure in the orans position (arms raised in prayer), whilst another displays an intricate swastika design with arms terminating in square spirals. Local tradition associates one of the larger recumbent slabs, measuring 2.36 metres long and decorated with a wheeled cross flanked by interlace, with Godfrey O’Donnell who died in 1258. Several of these precious monuments now rest on top of the cairn, whilst others are set into its structure, creating a unique assemblage that spans centuries of Irish Christian art and burial tradition.
