Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as subrectangular area named 'Grave Yard'; named 'St Abigail's Burial Gd.' on 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. Roughly rectangular area (c. 35m E-W; c. 40m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank. Interior grass-covered, N end higher than S. Numerous burial markers noted; oldest gravestone dated 1785. According to Bowman (1934, 540), it contained church at N end, 'not a vestige of which now remains'.
