Neither survives above ground. The graveyard, roughly subrectangular at about 110 metres north to south and 70 metres east to west, sits a kilometre west of Passage West overlooking Cork Harbour, approached by a laneway from the north. Its enclosing walls are stone to the north, west, and east, with a short arc of earthen bank closing the southern side. Headstones here date from the 1790s, with more recent interments concentrated at the northern end, and the whole site carries that particular layering common to places where the living and the long-dead share the same ground without quite acknowledging it.

The church at the centre of the graveyard was the ancient parish church of Marmullane. By 1615 it was already in ruins, and by 1700 a contemporary source described it as "almost quite down." It appears on all editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, marked as a ruin, but today there is no visible surface trace whatsoever. More striking still is the lost plague slab. Early in the twentieth century, a researcher named Fitzgerald made a rubbing of a sixteenth-century rectangular stone slab that stood at the centre of the graveyard. The rubbing shows an interlaced cross-head with seven arms and fleur-de-lis terminals, the shaft rising from a stepped base with a spiral flanking it on the right side. The inscription running along its edges mixes black-letter script with Roman capitals and reads, in part: "Hic iacet Phillippus filius ... Ronane de Corck qui obiit Pestilenciae, anno domini..." That is to say, one Phillippus, son of someone of the Ronan family of Cork, died of pestilence, in a year now lost to damage or weathering. When Fitzgerald recorded it, the slab was there. It is there no longer, and its current whereabouts are unknown.
