The older portion, dedicated to St. Fintan, sits within a roughly rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 47 metres north to south and 67 metres east to west, its perimeter formed by a stone wall built sometime after 1700. A modern extension has since spread to the north and east, layering a contemporary burial ground directly against its older counterpart. What makes the site quietly arresting is the presence of a church site recorded in the north-east quadrant of the graveyard, a distinct archaeological monument in its own right, now absorbed into the landscape of headstones and boundary walls.

The church site, catalogued under the reference LI016-012001-, points to a much earlier phase of religious activity on this ground, one that predates the post-1700 enclosure wall by an uncertain but significant margin. St. Fintan is a name shared by several early Irish saints, and dedications to figures of that name appear across Munster, suggesting the graveyard may occupy ground that has held some form of sacred or communal significance since the early medieval period, even if the physical remains visible today belong largely to the post-medieval and modern eras. The memorials within the old enclosure date from the eighteenth century to the present day, offering an unbroken, if selective, record of the local community across roughly three hundred years.

The entrance gate sits on the western side of the enclosure, which is the natural approach from the village. The old graveyard and the newer extension are visually distinct once you are inside, with the boundary between them apparent in the character of the memorials and the fabric of the ground itself. The church site in the north-east corner is worth seeking out specifically, though it requires a careful eye; such sites within active graveyards are often reduced to subtle irregularities in the ground or fragmentary stonework rather than anything immediately legible as a building. The site was compiled for the archaeological record by Caimin O'Brien and uploaded in November 2018.
