In pasture at the break of slope on the N side of a rise or small ridge, with areas of damp, poorly drained ground to the NE, S and W. Shown on the OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 25-30m E–W; c. 15m N-S). A dilapidated semicircular area (c. 25.5m E–W; c. 8-10m N–S) representing the N half of the enclosure can still be traced. It is defined from W–ENE by the severely degraded remnants of a scarp (H 0.4m at W, 1m at N), which was cut into the N-facing slope. Three mature beech trees are growing along the line of the scarp. It is not possible to trace the outline of the S half of the enclosure. The enclosure straddles a natural break of slope so that the S half originally encompassed level ground on top of the rise and the N half slopes down gently to N. There are a tree stump and a boulder in the centre of the interior.

OS aerial photographs (2005) show the extensive remains of a series of small fields with cultivation ridges enclosed by low earthen banks in an area of outcropping rock on the banks of the River Inny. These appear to be post-1700 AD in date. The large, irregularly-shaped platform which is visible on the aerial photographs is the remains of a natural hillock of outcropping rock. Possible remains of a sunken rectangular house (int. dims. 14m x 3m, D 0.4m) associated with field boundaries and cultivation ridges also appear to be post-1700 AD in date. However this sunken feature may just be the remains of an open-cast quarry as there are no definite wall-footings visible. This possible building along with small fields and a lime-kiln are indicated on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and are probably of post-1700 AD date..

Possibly associated with the graveyard (LF027-048002-). In 1549 'John Morthagh of Cloncaloo, chaplain' was appointed to the vicarage of Kilnashee (Nicholls 1994, vol. 1, 129). The church of ‘Cloncallow’ is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Shrule barony on the S bank of the Inny River (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.26). Its precise location has not been identified but it may have been located close to or within the graveyard – possibly where the interior rises in the centre.

On a low rise on the S bank of the Inny River. This large rectangular graveyard (dims. 100m NW-SE; 50m NE-SW) is enclosed by a 19th-century stone wall. Memorials date from the 18th century onwards.
