The churchyard is visible on oblique aerial views taken in 2008 (RCAHMSAP 2008), situated immediately E of the church and is generally rectangular in shape surrounded by a rubble stone wall, apart from an irregular length on the seaward side. There is a gabled gateway on the E side, which was added in 1830. There are a number of earlier gravestones within the kirkyard.
