Raby Burial Ground
The burial ground associated with the early medieval chapel of Raby Keeill. The chapel survives only as a low earthwork.
The enclosure measures about 40 metres by 16 metres and is artificially raised and protected by a strong embankment. Nine lintel graves have been found in the cemetery in the past, containing human remains. The enclosure is turf covered and consists of a rectilinear enclosure with rounded corners surrounded by a bank with a strong stone content with average width of 2.0 metres, with an inner height of 0.2 metres and an outer height in the west of 1.4 metres. Within the enclosure are a series of minor enclosures. No trace of an entrance was found to the main enclosure though the bank is considerably lowered at the south east corner.
