Associated with a possible chapel (GA104-092003-). McCaffrey (1952, 222, no. 6) recorded this children's burial ground, which consisted of a number of graves (six to the S and five to the W of the church based on his site plan) marked by head- and foot-stones. The stones were ‘well fashioned' and were probably taken from the church. On the initial inspection in February 1983, a small roughly subcircular, but unenclosed, concentration of grave-markers was noted. The headstones were small (H 0.3m) and were aligned E-W. On re-inspection in June 1992, the site was completely overgrown with dense blackthorn and briar growth and was impenetrable. According local information gleaned by McCaffrey (ibid.), the last internment took place in the late 1930s.
