The National Monuments Service's description
Situated atop high ground with good views of the surrounding countryside. Depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular shaped area (50m WNW-ESE; 30m E-W) with modern graveyard extension to W. The graveyard is still in use. Remains consists of a rectangular shaped area enclosed by a poorly preserved post-1700 stone wall (H c. 1m) with entrance stile at S. An embankment is evident in the N, E and SE (H 1m) and in the SW where it is revetted by the stone wall. The ruins of St. Lawrence's Church (LI014-070001-) stands in E quadrant of graveyard with levelled site of post-1700 R. C. Chapel in green area to S of old graveyard. Two 19th century mausoleums stand in NW quadrant. St Lawrence's well (LI014-070003-) lies in SW quadrant of graveyard.
