The National Monuments Service's description
At foot of NE-facing slope with good views from N-E only. An irregular, roughly D-shaped area (ext. dims. 52m NE-SW x 26m NW-SE), covered in overgrowth and enclosed by a stone wall. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map a parish boundary runs along the N-NW side of the graveyard and the medieval church (KK020-009001-) whose W gable and N wall also form part of this boundary. Within the church are two 13th/14th-century graveslabs (KK020-009004-; KK020-009005-) and two 16th-century graveslabs (KK020-009003- and KK020-009006-). Also within the church interior there are a number of 19th-century table tombs and headstones. The graveyard is densely populated with 18th and 19th-century headstones and uninscribed grave-markers.
