The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as the site of a graveyard on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the S-facing slope of a W-E valley, just E of the NW-SE Farrane stream at the point where it turns E. It is traditionally regarded as a children's burial ground associated with the church (WA022-014001-), but no enclosure or grave-markers are visible. (Power 1897b, 77-8)
