The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape in the valley of the NW-SE River Blackwater, with the stream c. 1km to the E. The parish church of Martry (ME017-037----) is in a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50-65m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls that has been extended (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 15m N-S) on the N side. According to Dopping's Visitation (1682-5) the graveyard was fenced at that time (Ellison 1972, 11).
