The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted by a dashed line on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map as a rectangular enclosure with a church (CW002-002001-) NE of centre. A road ran c. 50m roughly N-S to the E and a lane to a farm ran E-W along the northern boundary of the graveyard. By the latest 6-inch ed. a railway line had been constructed and the road alignment altered to run parallel with this section of the railway line, both road and railway line truncating the E side of the graveyard, particularly the SE portion (map dims. 56m N-S; 33-50m E-W).
