Associated with the Cistercian abbey (LF011-036001-) that lies in its E end; wall footings of an 18th/19th-century church (LF011-036003-) are evident in the NW quadrant. This large subrectangular graveyard (51m E-W; 43m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall. Access is gained at the NW corner. It is no longer in use and contains memorials dating from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Numerous architectural fragments, including a dumb-bell pier from the cloister, are visible within it and in the external face of the S wall. Archaeological testing for a proposed treatment plant serving a residential development c. 10m to the N of the NE corner of the boundary wall in 2002 and 2005 revealed no archaeological features or artifacts (Delaney 2008, 251).
