What is recorded here
Half a kilometre west of the medieval church, two sections of grave dirt stretch one hundred metres east to west. The eastern half holds the oldest marked death from 1824, while the western half receives most new burials. The graveyard has outgrown its church and keeps both memories in the same soil.
This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 100m E-W; c. 50m N-S) is divided into two sections. The E half is associated with the medieval church (GA044-047002-) in its NE sector and the earliest noted headstone, dating to 1824, occurs in this section. Most burials now occur in the W half of the graveyard.
