My relatives lived just opposite the farm ,infact by the map above their house must have been built on the burial site.
My late grandparents lived on the Crescent ,infact I have a vey old picture of them as youngsters outside one of the houses.

Could be Rick, I am not familiar with the area unfortunately. The yellow building on this 1920s map, is just marked "Bullock's Hall", possibly later known as the farm you mention?
I am under the impression that most of the buildings shown were long gone before the opencast administered the coup de grâce to anything that was left. [from googling the opencast started in 1996]
I'm sure the Chapel had an archaeological investigation done shortly before the opencast got started. [If I can find a link for this info I will add it]
