The National Monuments Service's description
On a ridge of rock outcrop in upland region with panoramic views in all directions. Evidence of earthworks on aerial photographs (CUCAP 1968, AVS 49) which are suggestive of a medieval or post-medieval settlement around the church (TS054-009001-). Enclosure delimits an area immediately NW of the church, consists of a roughly circular area (dims. 8.5m N-S; 6.6m E-W), defined by grassed-over wall-footings (Wth 1.2m crest, 2m base; int. H 0.52m; ext. H 0.55). The wall-footings appear to abutt the NW angle of the W gable, though the quoins of the church have been removed. The wall-footings of three possible house sites have been identified (TS054-009003-; TS054-009004-; TS054-009005-) 45m to NW, 13m to WNW and 30m to SE respectively and an enclosure (TS054-009006-) 44m to N.
