The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a medieval church (LF023-097001-). This oval-shaped graveyard (dims. 65m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) is defined by a stone wall. Access is via a wrought-iron gate with an adjacent stile at SW. Memorials date to the 18th and 19th centuries. Centrally located within the interior is an 18th-century church (C of I), which may have been built on or close to the site of the earlier medieval church. Within this church is a 17th-century graveslab (LF023-097005-). A cross-slab (LF023-097003), fragments of a cross-slab (LF023-097002-) and two 17th-century graveslabs (LF023-097003, LF023-097004-) were noted in the graveyard. (ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005)
