What is recorded here
Within the NE sector of an enclosure (GA083-015002-). This irregularly shaped graveyard (33.3m E-W; 27m N-S), in fair condition, is defined along the N and E sides by the bank of the surrounding enclosure. No visible surface trace of an enclosing element survives elsewhere. In the interior are numerous graves, aligned E-W, marked by small set stones, similar to those found in children's burial grounds. Some rectangular stone-lined grave plots are also evident. Finally, two inscribed grave-markers dedicated to adults, dated 1890 and 1899, lie near W and E limits respectively.
