Contin burial ground is a cemetery in two parts. The oldest section surrounds the listed church and contains stones dating back to the mediaeval period. It is accessed through a 'kissing gate' at the side of the car park. The older section is very uneven and the graves are loosely lined in rows, although there are some that are not. This older burial ground has two recently uncovered 13th century grave slabs near to the church entrance, with many slab and tablestone stones still buried beneath the turf. There are a few stones tumbled on their faces, and some that the vegetation is obscuring, altough most of the upright stones are still visible and legible.

The newer burial ground is walled seperately and accessed through an iron gate at the car park. Tbhe new cemetery has well kept paths and is fully accessible. The graves are in rows and clearly legible.
