The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland, on a ridge in high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. A series of irregular earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields and earthworks which extend c. 190m N, c. 200m E and c. 250m S of church (TS053-005001-) and graveyard (TS053-005001-). These appear to radiate out from the large enclosure (TS053-003002-) which surrounds the church and graveyard. These are possibly settlement earthworks (TS053-005004-) associated with church.
