The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, associated with a church (MA093-045001-).
A rectangular area (c. 17m E−W; c. 12m N−S), outlined by a dashed line, is named ‘Children’s Burial Gd.’ on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Its original extent is no longer clear at ground level. It appears to have surrounded the ruined church, but a commercial gravel quarry has encroached to within 15m of the W wall and 2m of N wall of the church, and has more than likely truncated the burial ground. No grave markers are visible.
