Locating graves in the cemetery is a difficult proposition as the site has largely been surrendered to nature and now features tall grass, damaged gravestones and uneven ground. Many of the gravestones still standing have deteriorated to the point of being unreadable. Fortunately, gravestone inscriptions were recorded in 1980, to the extent possible, and preserved in the County Louth Archaeological and Historical Journal.
The site of the cemetery is noteworthy as the location of a monastery founded by St. Mochta in the sixth century. The monastery was regarded as one of the great ecclesiastical centers of Ireland during the Middle Ages.
