The National Monuments Service's description

Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roughly semi-circular area (dims. c. 10m NE-SW; c. 8m NW-SE) defined by a dashed line which suggests it was unenclosed and annotated as 'Burial Ground'. It is located immediately S of the public road, with the road running along the NW-N side. It is not indicated on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map. Satellite imagery (Google Earth and Digitalglobe, viewed 21 April 2021) shows that the burial ground is not visible above ground.
