Entrance to N (Wth 0.7m) formed by stone slabs (1 to W; 2 to E); according to Franklin (1897, 383) 'these were once removed by a former tenant' but subsequently replaced. Inside line of wall to E is heap of rubble (H c. 1m). Interior level; in pasture; no trace of gravemarkers. According to Franklin (ibid.) 'this is an ancient graveyard'. May be part of early ecclesiastical site associated with St. Lasser.
