On an 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map it appears as an oval, roughly 25 metres east to west and 15 metres north to south. By 1903 and again in 1940, the same surveys show it as rectangular and mark it simply as disused. The ground itself has shifted in outline between those two moments of cartographic attention, or at least the perception of it has, which raises the question of what exactly surveyors were looking at across those intervening decades.

What remains on the ground today is a slightly raised, irregular area measuring roughly 18 metres north to south and 16 metres east to west. The western edge is defined by a low bank of rubble, possibly the collapsed remnant of an enclosing wall, while five contiguous slabs run along the north-northwest side. The interior is scattered with loose stones, and among them are uninscribed gravemarkers, simple field stones set without any identifying text. The absence of inscriptions is not unusual in early Irish burial grounds, where formal memorial conventions either post-date the site's active use or never applied to those interred there. Two further features sit close by and suggest this was once a more complex early medieval or early Christian site: a bullaun stone, a boulder with one or more artificial cup-shaped hollows that were often associated with early ecclesiastical activity, lies about 8 metres to the southwest, and a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage of the kind commonly built during the early medieval period for storage or refuge, lies approximately 35 metres to the south. Kilpatrick's place-name itself, combining the Irish cill with Patrick, points to an early church foundation, which gives the whole cluster of features a coherent if now largely illegible character.
