The older section is medieval in origin, its boundary walls capped with limestone 'soldiers', the upright stones set along the top of a wall in the traditional manner, and much of it now thickly shrouded in ivy. Within that older enclosure, the roofless shell of a Protestant church still stands, or rather persists, so thoroughly covered in ivy as to be more vegetation than masonry. Around it, a number of large tombs have gone unnamed and largely untended, their rubble limestone forms dissolving slowly back into the ground.

When a survey was carried out in 2010, the site was recorded in considerable detail. The medieval section contained fifty-eight unnamed headstones alongside three hundred and eleven that still carried legible names. Nine named tombs and seventeen unnamed ones were also documented, most of them constructed from the same rubble limestone that characterises the boundary walls throughout the site. The modern extension to the graveyard was opened in 1916 and is separated from the medieval ground by a change in walling style, though both sections share the same basic material. The entrance gates, two metres high and set between square-capped limestone piers, mark the main vehicular approach, while a pedestrian gate sits a few metres to the north-west. At the time of the survey, the capping on one of the main gate piers was already showing signs of failure, with at least one stone close to slipping.
