The National Monuments Service's description
A quadrangular enclosure named 'Churchtown Graveyard' on the OSi 1st. edition 6-inch map (map dims. c. 50m E–W; c. 30m N–S). Disused by 1908. The enclosure is defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m) and an external fosse (Wth 3m; max. D 0.8m) on the S and SE. Poorly preserved foundations of W end of church (WI007-035001-) survive just off centre. Some eighteenth-century headstones occur in the area to the S and E of the church. (SMR file)
