The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on top of a hill with good views of undulating countryside. Remains of a long narrow rectangular church (OF032-005001-) with gable surviving to full height and partial remains of E and S walls with N wall surviving 3m high. Located in the centre of a large irregular shaped graveyard enclosed by a stone wall. There are several 18th-century headstones along with unmarked gravestones probably of an earlier date. Two portions of a rotary quern stone were found along the external face of the S wall. Probable late medieval church with two storey priest accommodation at W end.
