The National Monuments Service's description
Possibly associated with a church (LF015-063002-). The irregularly shaped graveyard (int. dims. 70m N-S; 60m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall of 19th-century appearance. Primary and secondary entrances are via wrought-iron gates at W and WSW respectively. A short distance to the S of the centre is an 18th-century church (C of I). Three conjoined memorials to the Edgeworth’s family, of 18th and 19th century date, are built into its N wall. Memorials in the graveyard itself date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The earliest recorded memorial was dated 1705.
