The subsurface survey of the churchyard discovered only two features. These were in close proximity to each other, with at least one being in-situ. The absence of any fallen or buried gravestones is an interesting discovery. The absence could either suggest that older gravestones have been removed, or that stone grave markers were not used of for all of the burials recorded in the parish records for the 18th and 19th centuries.
