On a W-facing slope in gently rolling terrain generally under pasture.The church is not visible at ground level. Although 'Site of Church' is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map, located close to the W boundary of the graveyard (TS081-020001-), the graveyard was established in 1738 by local Quaker John Fennell on his own estate to provide for members of the Society of Friends (Butler 2006, 156). The uniform gravestones, bearing either no inscription or simply names from local Quaker families, are laid out regularly in straight rows, typical of Quaker graveyards across the country. Power (1908, 21) also refers to the graveyard as belonging to the Quakers. It seems likely that there was never a church at this location.

On a W-facing slope in gently rolling terrain, generally under pasture. A rectangular graveyard (diam. c. 26m N-S; c. 55m E-W) with a high stone wall surround, 2.3m H externally, surmounted by coping. The graveyard is populated by plain limestone headstones dating to the 19th and early 20th century, mainly 1860s-1880s, though there are some dating from the 1830s. There are at least thirty-five headstones visible, mainly aligned in rows running N-S, facing E. Family names include Fennel and Going. According to Power (1908, 21) this is a Quaker burial ground and the simple gravestones would bear this out. The graveyard was established in 1738 by local Quaker John Fennell on his own estate to provide for members of the Society of Friends (Butler 2006, 156). The graveyard is neglected and covered in brambles. The flat lintelled entrance to the graveyard, with its iron gate, is located close to the N end of the W wall. The inside edge of the graveyard is planted with trees and there is earth banked up against the inner face of the wall along the N and E walls. There are a small cluster of yew trees in the E half, towards the centre. There is no visible trace of a church (TS081-20----), the site of which is depicted on both the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch maps as being close to the W boundary of the graveyard.

On top of a broad ridge running N-S, in a field under tillage. This enclosure has been levelled and is visible as a roughly circular crop-mark on an aerial photograph (Gillian Barrett 20 August 1991). The monument is visible as a raised area, roughly circular area (diam. c. 53m E-W) with a slight dip at the base of this area in the E and W quadrant. According to the landowner the enclosure was levelled c. twenty years ago. The enclosure is marked as an oval area on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map, partially incorporated in a field boundary in the S quadrant, and is depicted in the centre of an open field on the 1st (1840) ed. with trees in the interior, a possible tree-ring.

On level ground on the summit of a low ridge, in undulating terrain, under tillage. An enclosure identified as a large oval cropmark on an aerial photograph (GB91.EN.23, 20 August 1991). There is no visible trace of enclosure above ground, though the ground does rise slightly in W quadrant which may be defining the edge of the monument. There is a small copse of trees still standing in the S quadrant.
