The graveyard is defined by a drystone wall (at E: Wth 1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m) with mature deciduous trees and material accumulated against its inner face. A masonry wall retains the rising mound of the neglected graveyard along the roadside SW-NW. There are relatively few headstones, dating largely to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
