Several quoins and a granite moulded window jamb are in use as grave markers; window jamb incorporated in stile at SW corner of graveyard (CW013-070002-). Quoins suggest fifteenth- or sixteenth-century date. Recent renovations of E gable and portion of N wall. Distinct curve in road, suggesting former circular enclosure.
