What is recorded here

Immediately to the S of a church (GA114-069001-). A roughly rectangular area (10m E-W; 7m N-S) is defined along the W side by a field wall; elsewhere no visble trace of an enclosing element survives. Within the interior a number of small set stones indicate burials aligned E-W. According to local information, the last burial took place around 1950.
