The National Monuments Service's description
There are numerous earthworks visible in the fields to the N, E, S and W of the graveyard (LF013-045009-). The majority - if not all - of these earthworks are associated with modern drainage channels which have been constructed in an attempt to reclaim the wet marshy land that surrounds the church (LF013-045002-) and graveyard (LF013-045009-).
