The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SE-facing slope in rough pasture. A children’s burial ground is indicated and named ‘Burial Ground for Children’ on the 1840 OS 6-inch map (dims. c. 15m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW). A possible outline is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography but this could not be seen at ground level. The location used is that shown on the 1st edition, superimposed on the current OS mapping. There are no headstones visible.
