A small, loose headstone in the E end of the church dates to 1712 and a headstone near the N doorway dates to 1724, with other early slabs within and outside the E gable. The graveyard boundary N of the church consists of a low, wide earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.34m), this also forms the boundary of a small wooded area N of the graveyard.
