Remains of N and W wall are upstanding to 0.5-1.2m. Enclosure boundary bank is visible to E along with 3 burial slabs within chapel walls and 2 out with chapel. Site is subject to present day stabilisation but there is very serious erosion on frontage at cliff face and burials are erosion out. Under threat from further cliff erosion.
Ad hoc coastal defence failing. Boundary band not visible. SE corner of chapel probably eroded. Only 2 grave slabs visible inside the chapel. None visible outside due to vegetation cover. A single piece of human bone visible at the base of the coastal section, but otherwise the section is vegetated and appears stable.
