Situated on the W facing slope of Saggart Hill. A Holy water font was originally found at the site. A house known as Slademore Lodge was identified by the OS Letters (1837) as the site of a burial ground (DU024-003002-) (Herity 2001, 39). This was the property of St. Mary de Hogges (Ball Vol.3, 125).
