On the S end of a broad ridge which slopes steeply to the S beyond the graveyard to a small river valley running roughly E-W. In rushy terrain, rough grazing. The graveyard was originally sub-rectangular in shape (dims. 67m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE), defined by an earthen bank (Wth at top 1.6m; Wth at base 4.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m) with the church (TS071-019----) occupying a raised area at the southern end. In the 19th century the southern part of the graveyard was enclosed by a stone wall, encompassing the earlier SW boundary which is evident as a scarp running NE-SW within the W wall. The 19th-century enclosure forms a roughly triangular shape (dims. 33m N-S; 49m E-W) with an entrance at the S of the W wall. There are several 18th century headstones within the church interior, the earliest dating to 1722. The vast majority of headstones in the graveyard are 19th century in date, with only one 20th century headstone, however, there are no headstones in the E end of the graveyard. There are a lot of rough uncut stones which have been utilised as headstones.
