The National Monuments Service's description
Although not recorded on either edition of the OS 6-inch map (1838 and 1938-9), the OS 25-inch map (19-10) names 'Grave Yd.' immediately SE of St David's Church (KD019-030020-). In 1980, during the lowering of the ground level in an adjoining property, burials, medieval pottery, and a medieval tile were uncovered c. 35m to the NE of the church (SMR file). This suggests that the graveyard also extended in this direction away from the church.
