What is recorded here
Small stones and rectangular plots stretch east to west inside the enclosure's northern bank, waiting for the names that time has taken. Two adult markers from 1890 and 1899 still stand at opposite edges, framing a chamber where the young and old may have shared one quiet ground.
Within the NE sector of an enclosure (GA083-015002-). This irregularly shaped graveyard (33.3m E-W; 27m N-S), in fair condition, is defined along the N and E sides by the bank of the surrounding enclosure. No visible surface trace of an enclosing element survives elsewhere. In the interior are numerous graves, aligned E-W, marked by small set stones, similar to those found in children's burial grounds. Some rectangular stone-lined grave plots are also evident. Finally, two inscribed grave-markers dedicated to adults, dated 1890 and 1899, lie near W and E limits respectively.
