The National Monuments Service's description
Sub-triangular shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 65m N-S x 43m E-W) on the S side of the village of Multyfarnham with medieval church ruins (WM006-061----). The graveyard stands on a low rise of ground with unlocated medieval castle site (WM006-060----) to N, possible motte (WM007-072----) 110m to NE with River Gaine 160m to NE. Franciscan friary (WM006-058----) 500m to N. The graveyard contains memorials dating from the 18th century onwards and is enclosed by a post-medieval stone wall with entrance gate at E and modern cemetery extension to W. Scattered throughout the graveyard are several architectural fragments belonging to the medieval church that have been inserted into the graveyard. It is not clear if these fragments have been inserted into the graveyard to act as gravemarkers in the post medieval period or whether they have been inserted into the graveyard in recent times as part of the graveyard clean up scheme.
