What is recorded here

In a graveyard (KD027-023001-) A densely ivy-clad rectangular structure (int. 18.7m E-W; 6.3m N-S) is built of irregularly coursed and mortared limestone. Most of the N wall and the E portion of the S wall are represented by the lowest courses only. Sections of the E and W gable walls are also robbed out, and no windows appear to survive. The entrance (Wth 1.25m), in the S wall towards the W end, has an external recessed limestone two-centered surround, and traces of a large wooden lintel on the inside. A small, 19th-century burial plot abuts the external face of the W gable wall. The interior contains a font (KD027-023002-), and several modern burials.
