The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-NE ridge. Associated with a medieval church (KK030-010001-). The graveyard is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and appears to relate to a rectangular area (dims. c. 45m N-S; c. 32m E-W) surrounding the church. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 320), there 'is no head-stone in the surrounding graveyard; and no interment has taken place here as long as any one can remember'.
The remaining wall of the church was demolished in 1973 and farm buildings, including a milking parlour and cow sheds, now occupy the graveyard.
