On a ridge in undulating grassland, it lies immediately E of the td. boundary. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small subrectangular area and labelled 'Old Grave Yard'. On 3rd ed. (1920), it appears as a D-shaped field (c. 35m by c. 30m). This field is now totally covered in overgrowth which mantles rock outrop. No visible surface trace of the graveyard survives.
