The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. This overgrown subrectangular graveyard (c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall capped with concrete. The earliest inscribed headstone noted dates to 1791; most of the others are of 19th and 20th-century date, though some older uninscribed grave-markers are also visible. Within an area bounded by trees in the NW section, a number of flat table tombs are visible. Several family plots are enclosed by iron railings. The graveyard is still in use. A church (GA073-016001-) is associated.
