The site sits on an east-facing slope and is bounded by a square earthen and stone bank, eighty metres on each side, with a drystone facing that matches the surrounding field boundaries so closely that the graveyard almost disappears into the agricultural landscape around it. That seamlessness is quietly unusual. Most burial grounds, even modest ones, announce themselves with a distinct boundary or a change in character. Here, the enclosure seems to have been built by the same hands, using the same materials, in the same manner as the ordinary field walls nearby.

What makes the site more puzzling is an absence rather than a presence. On the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1838, a Roman Catholic chapel is marked to the west of this location. Burial grounds in rural Ireland were commonly attached to chapels, and it would be natural to expect some trace of such a structure, even if only a disturbed foundation or a scatter of stone. No such evidence survives on the ground. The earliest headstones date only to the early nineteenth century, which means the graveyard was in use around the time the chapel appeared on that map, yet the two now seem to have no physical connection. Whether the chapel was never built, was removed, or simply decayed entirely beyond recognition is not known.
