The National Monuments Service's description
On summit of a hill, at SW edge of summit, gradual slopes, quite steeply to S, level to N, gradual slope to E and W. Long rectangular undulating graveyard (dims. 38m N-S; 83m E-W) with Romanesque church (TS077-027001-) located at the W end and immediately SE of this there was another church (TS077-027002-). There are earthworks (TS077-027003-) in the adjoining field to N. Ground level has been quarried out immediately S of the nave wall of the Romanesque church resulting in a steep-sided rectangular hollow with a stone revetment at base of its steep sides. According to the caretaker this was used as a handball alley in his father's time, c. 1930s/40s.
