The National Monuments Service's description
On a slightly rising area above the River Goul flood plain, in rolling grassland. The medieval church of Foulkscourt (KK008-090001-) has no visible associated graveyard or headstones, though burials were found within the church itself in the 19th century (Moore 1874-9, vol. 1, 37-8; Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 300).
