The graveyard, which has been extended over the years and remains in active use, contains the ruins of an old church alongside a holy well, both testament to the site’s long religious significance. The area underwent a thoughtful restoration around 1968, when local efforts transformed what had been a grassy rectangular mound near the church’s south wall into a carefully arranged stone cairn, its flat top now paved with historic grave slabs.

The cairn serves as an open-air repository for the graveyard’s remarkable collection of early Christian stone carvings. Six upright slabs bear cruciform designs, whilst another displays a carved human figure; three more stand undecorated. Five additional cross slabs lie unfixed on the cairn itself, with three more recumbent cross slabs set into its structure. Among the twelve other grave slabs adorning the cairn, most are plain and uninscribed, some displaying the distinctive trapezoidal shape typical of early Irish grave markers, though one dates from the late 19th century.

About nine metres southwest of the church ruins stands an intriguing stone measuring 0.8m by 0.75m by 0.16m, set within what appears to be a grave surround. A rectangular hole, measuring 36cm by 9cm, pierces its centre; archaeologists believe this may have once served as a socket for a standing cross, adding another layer to the site’s rich Christian heritage. The graveyard offers visitors a chance to trace Ireland’s religious history through stone and earth, from its earliest Christian settlers to the communities who still bury their dead here today.
