It is recorded as a monument, which means it has been formally recognised as a site of archaeological or historical significance, but the details that would ordinarily accompany such a designation remain unpublished.

The absence of accessible information is itself telling. Graveyards in rural Clare range from early medieval burial grounds associated with lost church sites, sometimes marked by nothing more than a few worn slabs or a low enclosing wall, to post-Famine plots that accumulated use across the nineteenth century simply because the land was there and the need was urgent. Without the underlying survey material, it is not possible to say with confidence which kind of place this is, when it was established, or whose community it served. What the formal record confirms is that Baunmore's graveyard has been considered worth cataloguing, and that alone suggests there is more to it than an unremarkable field.
