The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pastureland. This subrectangular graveyard (40m E-W; 30m N-S) is enclosed by a modern stone wall. Access is gained via a gateway and stile in the S wall. A medieval church (GA097-148001-) occupies the NE sector. The graveyard is heavily overgrown, particularly the N end where the graves are completely obscured. Legible headstones date from the 19th and 20th centuries and it is still in use.
