This is a modern cemetery used by Foveran Parish Church (and therefore not a place of worship itself), and lies around 500 metres south of this church. It was opened in the 20th century when burials ceased at the burial ground surrounding the parish church. It is very well maintained.

Number of identified CWGC casualties: 1

Names of those buried or commemorated here:
