Many of its graves are marked by low, uninscribed stones, anonymous by design or by the slow erasure of time, arranged in quiet rows that give little away about who lies beneath. Alongside these stand chest tombs and headstones carrying inscriptions, the latter dating to the early nineteenth century, so that the yard holds both the named and the nameless within the same enclosure.

The site is complicated by what it contains beyond the burials themselves. An eastern extension houses a Church of Ireland church, while the northern half of the yard preserves the site of Aghadoon Church, a structure that no longer stands but whose name survives in the record. The co-existence of a vanished early church site and a later Protestant church within a single burial ground is not unusual in Ireland, where ecclesiastical use of a place often accumulated across centuries, each era inheriting ground already considered sacred. What makes this spot quietly arresting is precisely that layering: the low unmarked stones belonging to no particular denomination or date, the chest tombs of the early 1800s, and beneath all of it, the ghost outline of Aghadoon Church, a name that outlasted the walls it once described.
