The National Monuments Service's description

In grassland, on S-facing slope of high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. A large roughly oval enclosure (dims. 85m N-S; 74.6m E-W) defined by grass-covered wall-footings of graveyard visible 6m to N of church (TS053-005001-) and external fosse runs along outside of this boundary and runs around the church to E and S and W. At S and E the enclosure is approx. 25m away from the exisiting boundary wall (TS053-005002-) and at N and W approx. 6m away from graveyard wall. This appears to be the remains of an earlier enclosure which defines a larger burial area than the existing 19th century graveyard boundary wall. Running off this earlier boundary are several earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields to N, E and S of church. These are possibly settlement earthworks (TS053-005004-) associated with church.
