Grave Yard

On a S-facing slope in otherwise level grassland. Quadrangular graveyard (E-W c. 45m) enclosed by an earthen bank overlain by a stone wall. In W sector of the interior, there is a small circular enclosure (D 18.2m) defined by an earthen bank which encloses a holy well (GA071-023002-). Though the earliest graves date only from mid-19th C, the monument may be of greater antiquity.
