The National Monuments Service's description
Within a densely overgrown tree copse in grassland. Marked on the 1945 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an rectangular unenclosed burial ground (c. 20m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE). A faint rise marks its location. Only one grave-marker (H 0.5m; Wth 0.5m) was noted, just NW of centre. A number of small stones visible throughout appeared to be field-clearance material.
