The National Monuments Service's description

There is little evidence today for a cemetery surrounding the church. Impossible to determine due to waist height overgrowth that surrounds the church. However, in 1868 stone coffins were discovered here (Cochrane 1893, 402; Wakeman 1892, 104; Cochrane 1896, 1, 10, 14).
