Immediately S of a church (GA087-211001-). A subrectangular area (N-S 22m, E-W 20m) enclosed by a bank and linear depression define E side and the church forms N limits. A gap in the bank along S side probably marks the entrance. The burials consist of rows of unworked and uninscribed grave-markers indicating graves oriented E-W. Two small grass-covered stone mounds are evident to S. According to local information the graveyard was in use until the early 19th century. (ASGAP 171:10).
