The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a church (LF022-032----). This rectangular graveyard (62m E-W; 31m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall. Access is via a round-topped wrought-iron gate, set into a large cut-stone surround, in the E wall. Memorial plaques (LF022-032002-, LF022-032003-) on each side of the gateway date to 1649. Some late-medieval window mullions from the church have been reused as grave-markers. Memorials date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. (Wilson 1897a, 183; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 227; Lennon 2005)
