Well-preserved graveyard (ESE-WNW 41m, NNE-SSW 18.5m), oval in plan, enclosed by a drystone wall. Access is gained via gate at E. The interior is covered by numerous rectangular stone-lined graves with small uninscribed headstones at W end, arranged in N-S running rows. In SE part of the interior are the foundations of a square building (L/Wth 4m) defined by a collapsed stone wall with a gap at W. This lies within a small oval enclosure (WNW-ESE c. 11m) delimited by the fragmentary remains of a drystone wall.
