The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly square area (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a dashed line which suggests that it was not physically enclosed. A field boundary runs roughly E-W forming the N side of the burial ground and the interior is depicted as being tree covered. On the 1900 revision of the 6-inch OS map the burial ground is depicted as being enclosed, though the area is slightly smaller and wedge-shaped (dims. c. 35m NW-SE; c. 27m E-W at the S tapering to c. 12m E-W at the N). A farm roadway now runs roughly E-W along the line of the field boundary E of the burial ground, and turns northward at the burial ground which is overgrown with scrub. There is no associated church.
