The graves here are marked not by inscribed headstones but by granite boulders, many of them overgrown, scattered across an enclosure attached to an early Christian church. Because the boulders are so dispersed, it has not been possible to determine how the burials beneath them are aligned, and that uncertainty is itself quietly telling. Most early Christian burial grounds follow a recognisable east-west orientation, the dead laid out in anticipation of resurrection from the east. Here, the ground refuses to confirm or deny that pattern.

The site sits within a walled enclosure on Oileán Máisean, the kind of boundary that would once have marked out a sanctified precinct from the surrounding landscape. Close to the church, around seven metres to its north, stands a leacht, a low cairn-like structure of piled stones used in early Irish religious practice as a focus for prayer or commemoration, often associated with a saint or with the memory of the dead. Concentrations of the grave-marking boulders cluster immediately north of the church and around the north and east sides of the leacht. Between the leacht and the church itself, the granite bedrock breaks through the surface, which may explain why no boulders appear in that gap; there was simply nowhere to dig.
