What is recorded here
In pastureland in a hollow in the corner of a field. Marked on the OS 6inch maps as an unenclosed rectangular area (c. 18m NNW-SSE; c. 12m ENE-WSW). On inspection the burial ground was completely overgrown with briars and thorn bushes but no grave-markers could be discerned. The landowner was aware that it was known as a children's burial ground.
