The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, with views SE to The Paps of Dana. A rectangular burial ground (52m E-W; 31m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 1.3m) with concrete coping. The entrance is in the E side and is approached by a road. The burial ground has been extended to the N by 10m and this area contains mid- to late 20th-century graves. Earlier 20th-century headstones, some uninscribed stone grave-markers and some unmarked grave-mounds occur in the older portion of the burial ground. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map, the burial ground is indicated as reduced in size (c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W). There is, however, no trace of the W boundary wall of the burial ground as it was then depicted.
