Poorly preserved ruins of a rectangular church (OF022-012001-) stand in N quadrant of graveyard. The N wall of the church formed part of the N wall of the graveyard which was built in the 19th century. The graveyard has been extended to the N and E in recent times. A lugged mortar has been built up against the E face of the S wall of the old graveyard boundary. Graveyard contains 18th/19th-century headstones and is entered from through a gateway located in S wall.
