The burial ground itself is D-shaped, roughly 34 metres east to west and 30 metres north to south, which is an unusual form. That straight eastern edge, where a farm track now runs, gives the site its distinctive flat side, and it is this track that divides the broader landscape and hints that the graveyard is not the whole story.

The graveyard occupies the south-western portion of a larger oval enclosure, the kind of arrangement that in Irish archaeology often signals an early medieval ecclesiastical site, where a church and its immediate precinct were set within a wider boundary serving different functions. The graveyard's own perimeter on the south and west sides is defined by an earth and stone bank, between 1.3 and 2 metres wide, with a near-vertical external face of drystone construction; the outer enclosure survives more faintly, as a slight scarp to the east of the track, and a fosse, a shallow external ditch about 3 metres wide, appears at the south-west. The bank continues northward beneath a farmyard wall, meaning the working farm has effectively absorbed part of the ancient boundary. Church ruins survive within the graveyard. Beside them lies a hexagonal block of granite, roughly 73 centimetres long and 30 centimetres thick, with a shallow sub-rectangular basin hollowed into its surface but no drainage hole cut through. Whether it is a baptismal font or the base for a stone cross is unresolved, but either possibility places it within a tradition of early Christian stonework, and the ambiguity itself says something about how much context has been lost over the centuries.
