To S of road, on E-facing slope, within early ecclesiastical site (13877). Roughly triangular graveyard (c. 70m E-W; c. 70m N-S) enclosed by stone wall to SE, W and NE; entrance to E; wall at E corner partially removed to give entry to large recent extension to SE.

In occasional use; 18th- and 19th-century headstones to S and E of church, 19th-century headstones to W and a few recent burials to N.

Built into exterior S wall of nave is top portion of tapering graveslab with seven-armed segmental cross on shaft with fleur-de-lis terminals; probably of 16th-century date (pers. comm. D. Maher). Until recently a coffin-shaped stone slab (H 2ft; L 5ft) rested inside graveyard gate and according to tradition, was used for resting coffins on; possibly removed by County Council during restoration works (pers. comm. B. Power).
