The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in an elevated position at roadside W of village. At the SE corner of the graveyard (DU001-003002-) the enclosing earthen bank (Wth 2.4m, H 0.7m) takes a curve, indicating the existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure.

The south of the graveyard is enclosed by a bank which is particularly evident to the SE. It has however been punctuated by a house which appears recently extended and the bank in this area has been replaced by a wooden fence.
