  Situated in a low-lying position on the floor of Glenade valley, the graveyard is known as Conwal graveyard. It is identified as the site of a Roman Catholic church in 1790 (Gallogly 1993-4, 433), but it may be on the site of a medieval church as a church called Tempall na Congbála (Conwal?) is on a late 17th century list of churches in north Leitrim (Mooney 1946a, 66). A rectangular platform (dims 16m E-W; 4.8m N-S; H 0.25m) with a wall (L 1.95m; T 0.6m; H 1.45m) at its W end in the SW corner of the rectangular graveyard (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by mortared stone walls may be the church.

He has also identified and recorded a second headstone (dims 1.1m x 0.6m), now prone, that has a carving of a horseman and an inscription in false relief with the date 1722 within a border. A cross-inscribed stone (Wth 0.32m; H 0.2m plus; T 2cm) with an inscribed latin cross is also in the graveyard and was recorded by Gary Dempsey.
