The National Monuments Service's description
On rock outcrop in undulating terrain. Very steep drop immediately W and N of church walls as a result of large scale quarrying. Graveyard is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map by a dashed line around a roughly circular area immediately S of the church (TS076-036----). On the latest ed. the graveyard is more irregular in shape (dims. approx. 38m N-S; 26m E-W) and again is indicated by a dashed line. There is no evident boundary for the graveyard and its extent could not be established as the area is badly overgrown with long grass and brambles.
