The National Monuments Service's description
In an enclosure (MA040-088001-). The interior of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. 40-45m) is used as a burial ground; it is indicated as ‘Burial Ground’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. In the 20th-century the enclosing wall on the E arc of the enclosure was removed and the burial ground was extended c. 20m to E as far as a N−S road. There are numerous 19th- and 20th-century headstones. These are interspersed with informal uninscribed gravemarkers, consisting of small, low field stones set upright in the ground.
