What is recorded here

Just below the brow of an E-facing slope, surrounded by pasture. The medieval church (KK025-038009-) of Ullard occupies much of the centre of the graveyard. A handball alley, which appears to be indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map, was built onto the E end of the church, occupying most of the graveyard E of the church. There is a high cross (KK025-038002-) immediately SE of the handball alley and a cross-slab (KK025-038011-) within the graveyard S of the W end of the church. The graveyard, enclosed by a stone wall composed of rough granite boulders, is roughly rectangular in shape (dims. c. 50m NE-SW), it is widest at the SW end (Wth c. 31m), tapering towards the NE (Wth c. 15m). Most of the headstones in the graveyard, which date from the 18th century onwards, are located S and W of the church. The graveyard is still used for burials. Outside the graveyard there are two bullaun stones (KK025-038006-; KK025-038008-) 50m to N and 52m to the NNW respectively and a holy well (KK025-038003-) 70m to the N.
