The site is roughly rectangular, measuring around 35 metres by 65 metres, enclosed by a stone wall with a gated entrance between stone piers to the west. In the north-east corner stand the remains of the later Church of Ireland parish church of Marshalstown, while just south of centre sit the ruins of an earlier parish church, older still and more thoroughly dissolved into the ground around it.

The graveyard remains in occasional use, and the burials cluster around and to the south of the earlier church, which is itself the more interesting focus. Within its walls, or what remains of them, sits a much-ruined table tomb, a raised slab monument on stone supports that was once a common way of marking a person of some local standing. Most of the headstones visible today date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but a survey conducted by Buckley between 1910 and 1912 recorded at least one stone dating to 1728, suggesting the site has been receiving the dead for at least three centuries. Alongside the inscribed markers are many low, uninscribed stones, the kind found across rural Ireland wherever communities buried their people without the means or the custom of commissioning cut lettering.
