CommentThis cemetery is located 170 feet north of Corys Lane at the entrance to Portsmouth Priory. Resurvey of 1970 reported that the Abbey had refused permission for a sign. Transcribed by Patricia Bodine and Shelby Favreau for CETA 10 May 1975. The cemetery was enclosed by a tall hedge. They found two wooden crosses in addition to the stones. Since the most recent stone at that time was 1974, presumably this is an active cemetery.
