Set on a gentle south-facing slope at Ballinaclogh, a low circular mound, around thirteen metres in diameter, rises just enough above the surrounding pasture to suggest something deliberate beneath the turf. The scarp that defines it is modest, less than half a metre high and under three metres wide, but its shape is clear enough that the Ordnance Survey mapped it as a roughly circular area narrowing to a finer point at the south, labelling it simply "Grave Yd. (Disused)".

The site has been largely levelled over time and absorbed into the working farmland around it. What little remains visible above ground is occasional loose stone, with more evidence of stone buried just beneath the surface. This kind of absorbed, almost erased burial ground is not unusual in rural Ireland, where small pre-Famine or early medieval graveyards were sometimes allowed to fall out of use and were gradually reclaimed by agriculture, leaving only a slight rise in the field and the stubbornness of underground stonework to mark where they once were. The relationship to the wider landscape is suggestive: Ballinaclogh Castle lies approximately five hundred metres to the north-north-east, and the proximity of a burial ground to a castle or tower house is a common enough pattern, hinting at a settled community that once gathered around both the living and the dead in this corner of Tipperary.
