The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the SE of a church (LF008-011001-). This subrectangular graveyard (53m WNW-ESE; 41m NNE-SSW) is defined from NNW-N-SE by a low, poorly defined scarp (H 0.3m). Two laneways, intersecting at its SW corner, define its S and W sides. All of the burials are close to the church. Memorials date to the 18th and 19th centuries. Neatly laid out, to the SE of church, are four rows of five upright, uninscribed stones. The graveyard is no longer is use.
