The National Monuments Service's description

Just below crest of hill, overlooking South Lodge house which lies to NE. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map the graveyard appears to occupy a triangular area (dims. 70m NE-SW; 52m NW-SE), which by the 1901-05 ed. is reduced to a roughly diamond-shaped area (dims. 44m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) in the eastern portion of the larger triangular area. A stone wall delineates the W side of graveyard which is otherwise undefined, though the area of the tombstones has been fenced in with post and wire fencing. Gallop-ring immediately S of graveyard. There are eleven table-top tombs, dating from the late 18th century (1799 is earliest legible inscription) to the 19th century. There are also three unmarked crude upright headstones. Graveyard no doubt served members of the South Lodge household. No visible trace of the church (TS078-018001-) at ground level.
