The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise. An oval area (58m E-W; 30m N-S) is enclosed by a well-built mortared stone wall with entrance gate at SE. Legible gravemarkers - headstones, kerbed and railed graves, obelisks, and table and recumbent tombs – date from the 18th to the 20th-century. While a 19th-century C of I church stands in the N sector, the graveyard may be the site of a medieval church (KD028-032----).
