The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a NE-facing slope in the valley of the Flesk River. The graveyard is roughly rectangular in plan (50m N-S; 30m E-W) and enclosed by a random rubble stone wall with vertical stone coping. The SE corner is rounded. The oldest inscribed headstones are at N (the earliest is dated 1793) around the church (KE067-057----); several uninscribed grave-markers and chest-tombs are also in this area. More recent burials occur at S. The entrance gate is in the W wall.
