What is recorded here

Graveyard located within a small sub-triangular shaped area (dims. c. 12m E-W x c. 16m N-S) defined by a stone wall located immediately to the S of the abbey church (WM015-001----). This graveyard area is not indicated on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map but is depicted as a ‘Grave Yd.’ on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. In 1917 Crawford recorded that, 'Near the church (WM015-001----) are several burial plots surrounded by low stone walls; these have not been used for some time, though several families still bury in the graveyard’ (Crawford 1917, 147). There are no surface remains visible of any headstones in the area marked as a graveyard on the 25-inch OS map.
