Inside, moss-covered stones lie scattered across the ground, and a cut-stone cross stands in two pieces near the south-western edge of the enclosure, its pillar loose enough in the soil to be shaken by hand. What the place actually is, or was, remains genuinely unclear. It may be a burial ground. It may be something older.

The Ordnance Survey Letters of 1838 refer to it as 'Carricknagross graveyard', placing it in the parish of Granabeg, though the surveyors of the time could not actually find it where they expected it to be. Over a century later, in 1949, a researcher named Price recorded it under the name 'Cornagrus Graveyard' and left a careful description of what he found: the low surrounding bank, the mossy boulders, the uncarved cross in two sections that, when assembled, formed a reasonably complete shape, though whether the head and pillar had ever originally been joined was not something he could determine. A local contact, referred to only as Burke, passed on the tradition that a priest was buried there. The dry-stone construction of the enclosing wall has a cashel-like quality; a cashel being a type of early medieval stone enclosure often associated with ecclesiastical or monastic use. Combined with the presence of the stone cross inside, this raises the possibility that what survives is the remains of an early church enclosure rather than, or perhaps as well as, a graveyard. The connection to 'Carricknagross graveyard' mentioned in 1838 is itself uncertain, since a separate burial ground exists nearby in Granabeg Upper and the two may have been confused with one another across the documentary record.
