At its centre stands St. Mobhi, a Church of Ireland church, the kind of arrangement that suggests the ecclesiastical claim on this ground predates the urban fabric that has grown up around it on every side.

The site takes its name from Saint Mobhi, an early Irish monastic figure associated with this part of north Dublin, and the triangular enclosure of the graveyard wall is the sort of boundary that often preserves the footprint of a much earlier religious foundation. In Ireland, the curved or irregular perimeter of a walled graveyard frequently reflects the shape of an ancient enclosure, the remains of a circular or roughly geometric boundary that once defined a monastic or early Christian settlement. The Church of Ireland building at the centre continues a line of worship on this ground that stretches back well before any Protestant presence; the denomination changed with the Reformation, but the location did not. The site was recorded and compiled by Geraldine Stout, and uploaded to the record in September 2011.

The graveyard sits at the terminus of a cul-de-sac, which means there is no through traffic and the approach on foot is straightforward once you locate the correct turning. The walled boundary is the thing to look for first, since it defines the triangular shape most clearly when viewed from outside. Graveyards of this type in urban settings can be easy to overlook precisely because the surrounding streets absorb them, but the wall here acts as a legible boundary between the city and the older ground it contains. The church at the centre is the secondary point of interest, worth examining for the relationship between its position and the enclosing wall, which tells a quiet story about continuity of use across very different historical periods.
