Sandstone rubble to saddle- back coping of on-edge blocks, iron gates. A complete, roughly oval circuit with the Church of St Andrew (qv) set towards the west end, walls variable, but generally c 1.5 metres high. At the east end, pair of square piers c 620 mm square and 2.5 metres high, capped by low pyramid with roll mould, and pair of gates with spear- head railings and to their left, a pedestrian swing-gate in half-circle rail enclosure. On south side, opposite later cemetery, a similar small iron gate, and diametrically opposite, to the north, a small pedestrian swing gate in half-circle enclosure.
