The National Monuments Service's description
Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps. In rough grazing. Subcircular area (17m N-S; 14.8m E-W) with perimeter defined by concentrated scatter of stones most notable on E side; slight scarp helps to define edge on NW side. Interior rough with small stones protruding from surface. Similarly described in 1933 when it was known locally as 'The Little Church Yard' though there was no tradition of burials taking place here within living memory (OS Field Memoranda 1933). Possible church site (14513) and hospital (14784) c. 120m to W.
