What is recorded here
No headstones, no names, no dates. Only low mossy stones beneath beech shade, some tilted east as if waiting for a sunrise the Church refused them. Stone steps cut through the boundary wall invite you in, proving this was never forgotten, only hidden from official memory.
Just off the S tip of a NNE-SSW ridge. Listed as 'Burial ground' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular overgrown area (ext. diam. 30m NNE-SSW; 25m WNW-ESE) defined by an earth and stone bank at N (Wth 3.5m; H 0.6m). There are a few grave-markers (H c. 0.2m) in the interior.
