The National Monuments Service's description
On W side of road. Rectangular graveyard ( 28m N-S; 52m E-W), with recent extension (30m N-S; 51m E-W) to S; all bounded by concrete-block wall. Interior laid out with level plots and concrete paths. Earliest headstones noted date to 1590s but vast majority are 20th century. It is unclear whether this ever contained a church (Westropp 1904-5, 415). Graveyard marked in the wrong location on the revised edition of the OS 6-inch map.
