What remains is the shape of the place itself: a roughly circular or D-shaped enclosure, around sixty-five to seventy metres across, defined by a stone-faced earthen bank along the north-east, south, and west sides, with a masonry wall closing the northern edge where a road runs past. That circular or near-circular form is itself significant. Early Irish ecclesiastical enclosures were typically laid out in this way, distinguishing them from the rectangular churchyards that became standard in later centuries, and the shape alone quietly signals considerable age.

The site was the location of the parish church of Kilrush, and it sits in a shallow valley running north-east to south-west, with a small stream about thirty metres to the north-west. No stonework of the church itself survives above ground, which is not unusual; many early medieval structures in Ireland were built in timber, or their stone was robbed for later building over the centuries. What makes this particular site quietly arresting is the record of a bullaun stone that once stood just outside the western boundary of the graveyard. A bullaun is a boulder or rock with one or more cup-shaped depressions ground into its surface, and they are found across Ireland in association with early Christian sites and holy wells. This one had two basins. The use of the past tense in the record is notable: the stone was there, but its current condition or precise whereabouts is less certain.
