On W side of road; towards SW side of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13879). Rectangular graveyard (c. 29m E-W; c. 22m N-S), enclosed by stone wall with vertical coping; entrance with stone piers and wrought iron gate on E side; remains of church (14427) forms NW corner of graveyard; site of second church (14428) c. 30m to NE. Graveyard in use; earliest headstone noted dated 1717. Southernmost strip of interior (L 6m N-S) drops gently to S boundary wall (D 1m); no burials in this lower area. Second sunken area (D 0.5m) in SE corner contains some burials. The 1842 OS 6-inch map shows graveyard extending short distance further to S; earthen bank (H 1.3m) parallel to and c. 6m S of S wall probably indicates this.
