On the N edge of a low NW-SE ridge in flat grassland, in upland area with good views in all directions. Overlooks nearby Munster river to the N and NE of the burial ground. Marked as a sub-rectangular area and depicted as a 'Grave Yard' on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map, by the 1903 ed. the graveyard had become redundant. Monument consists of a low irregular-shaped platform (dims 65m N-S; 28m E-W; H 0.15m) defined by an earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp and faint traces of a filled in outer fosse (Wth 1.5m) now visible as a cropmark. No grave markers visible, two piles of lose stone along N and NE quadrant of graveyard which may be remains of grave markers that have been moved and piled up into a little pile on the edge of the ridge. According to a local farmer there is a belief in the area that this was a place used for burying children.
