The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the NE-facing slope of a slight NW-SE ridge in a low-lying landscape. The parish church of St Nicholas’ parish (WX032-013001-) is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as being within a graveyard that is named and indicated faintly as a rectangular area (dims. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30-35m NW-SE). There are no visible remains of an enclosure or evidence of burial at ground level, although the ground around the church is said locally to be stony.
