In westernmost of two conjoined graveyards (14543). Fragmentary remains of church: SW corner survives to near full height (H 4.7m), with short returns of S wall (L 1.8m) and W wall (L 6.3m). Noticeable batter on external face of W wall. Set-back (D 0.25m) along inner face of W wall, possibly to hold floor joists. Short section (L 1.48m) of N wall also survives, with possible ingoing of embrasure at W end.
