Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The medieval parish church of Galtrim (ME043-001----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 55m NE-SW; c. 45m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls. The headstones date from c. 1735 to c. 1990. The church was converted into a dwelling in 2017. Archaeological testing (17E0393) by P. D.
