Enclosed within a rectangular stone wall, it contains two distinct categories of marker: inscribed headstones dating from the 18th century, and a considerably larger number of uninscribed gravemarkers, plain stones that identify a burial without naming the person beneath. This combination is not unusual in Irish burial grounds, but the sheer number of unnamed markers here gives the site a cumulative weight, a sense of how many lives passed without leaving a legible record in stone.

The graveyard also holds within its interior the site of an earlier church, now gone above ground but recorded as a distinct monument. Immediately to the west stands a Church of Ireland church, a proximity that reflects the complex layering of ecclesiastical use common in Irish parishes, where an older, possibly medieval or early modern place of worship gave way to or was supplemented by a later Protestant church built during the period of the established church's institutional presence in the landscape. The 18th-century headstones represent some of the earliest personalised funerary commemoration to survive at the site, though the uninscribed markers may well predate them by some margin.
