Carved with a large cherub and scroll border terminals, it belongs to a tradition of decorated funerary stonework that was once common across Cork but survives unevenly. What makes the site quietly interesting is the spatial logic of the dead: the older grave markers are concentrated on and around a raised platform on which the ruined parish church sits, while newer burials have drifted westward, away from the old structure. The graveyard itself is irregular in shape, roughly sixty metres east to west and thirty metres north to south, occupying the western side of a road about two hundred metres south of the Garryvoe crossroads.

The church ruin sits to the north of the graveyard's centre, raised on a platform that extends southward and eastward beyond its walls. Some of the older markers are inside the roofless structure itself, sheltered in a way by the surviving stonework. The arrangement, where the more ancient burials cluster tightly around a church platform while later interments expand into open ground, is a pattern seen at many medieval and post-medieval parish sites in Ireland, reflecting both reverence for proximity to consecrated architecture and the practical accumulation of generations. The graveyard remains in occasional use, keeping it from the kind of total abandonment that leaves older sites untended.
