In rolling grassland on a break between two N-S terraces on a W-facing slope. A burial ground (14m E-W; 15m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (H 0.3-0.5m) with a vault built of mortared walling in the N end of the interior. A slab on top of the vault commemorates Terrence Nowland and is dated 1770. A second slab, lying flat on the ground, is dated 1814(?).
