In open level pasture, separated from Confey Castle (KD006-004----), c. 160m to the ENE, by a small S-flowing stream which is spanned by a small bridge, and within a possible field system (KD006-017----). A medieval church (KD006-003----) stands at the N end of the graveyard which is shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 40m N-S; Wth c. 30m) which was extended significantly (L plus c. 140m) to abutt the road to the S as shown on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, and was subsequently extended again, to the E (Wth plus c. 50m) to its present limits. The graveyard is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and the earlier burials occur at the N end, around and to S of the church. Legible gravemarkers date from the 18th century to the present-day and Colgan and Cormack (2004-5, 502-535) have published a survey of the gravestones.
