Located within a graveyard (DU005-057005-), just SW of a church (DU005-057003-). A number of squat, irregularly shaped headstones bear 'folk art'. Commemorative inscriptions dating mainly to the first half of the 18th-century are framed by incised decorative motifs, including ‘lose’ or open spirals, lozenges and hearts.
