The National Monuments Service's description
An oval shaped graveyard with some eighteenth-century headstones, the earliest noted dates to 1752. It was still in occasional use when inspected by ASI in 1990. A sub-rectangular font (WI034-008003-) with a slot opening on one side was recorded by Price (1959, 175) here, however it was not located when inspected in 1990 and was reported to have been moved to another graveyard.
