The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in tillage. A trapezoidal area (L 40m NW-SE; Wth at wider NW end c. 26m; Wth at narrower SE end c. 13m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and is accessed by either of two stiles at the SE end. Marked burials are concentrated towards the N end and the earliest legible grave markers date to the 19th-century. The graveyard also contains a ruined church (KD035-030----) and a cross-slab (KD035-030002-).
