Situated in gentle undulating terrain, a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by a modern wall with the poorly preserved foundations of 'Whaley Abbey' (WI035-014001-) in the centre. Within the church is an early medieval graveslab (WI035-014003-) (L 1.56m) with a full-length ringed openwork cross on the upper face. A second slab from the site (WI035-014004-) with a ringed interlace cross and an inscription 'OROIT DO FACHTAIN' is now in the NMI (Braybrook 1879-81, 407). Several mid-18th and early 19th-century headstones also occur within the graveyard. (Price 1946, 64).
