Cemetery laid out, c. 1890. Uncoursed rubble stone boundary wall, concrete coping added c. 1950. Coursed ashlar stone gate piers with cylindrical domed carriage wheel deflectors. Decorative wrought-iron double gates. Stone style to east of gates with stone steeps let into wall thickness. Grass lawns, gravelled paths, nineteenth and twentieth century graves marked by low stone plinths with several engraved and carved Celtic crosses. Rubble stone, ivy-covered boundary walls to east, north and west. Fronts to main road.
This cemetery occupies the site of a monastery founded in 1432 but contains no visible traces of it. The roadside wall and gateway, with graveyard behind, provide a pleasing boundary.
