The National Monuments Service's description

On a slight natural rise in undulating terrain, surrounding fields under pasture. Road adjacent to graveyard on S side. Church (TS082-078----) roughly centrally placed within a irregularly shaped graveyard (dims 60m N-S; 49m E-W). There are a large number of early 18th-century graveslabs in the graveyard, the earliest noted, dating to 1711, being NE of the church. A small, loose headstone in the E end of the church dates to 1712 and a headstone near the N doorway dates to 1724, with other early slabs within and outside the E gable. The graveyard boundary N of the church consists of a low, wide earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.34m), this also forms the boundary of a small wooded area N of the graveyard. An iron gate and stile give access to the graveyard. Three architectural fragments (TS082-078002-;TS082-078003-;TS082-078004-) were noted in the graveyard.
