The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying, level landscape. The parish church of Carne (WX053-033001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 70m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls at W and N and by earthen banks at E and S. Archaeological testing (03E1392) immediately N of the graveyard produced no archaeological material (Fallon 2006), and testing (05E0549) immediately S of it had a similar result (O'Connor 2008).
