The National Monuments Service's description
According to the field note on 'Trinity Church' (WI023-014001-), 'Two small (45cm high) gravemarkers (children?) occur c.6m W of enclosure'. The enclosure is presumably that around the graveyard (WI023-014005-). Trinity Church (WI023-014001-) stands in a small rectangular enclosure/churchyard (WI023-014005-). Lies on a narrow terrace in a S-facing slope overlooking low, wet, rushy, flooded pasture immediately to the S. No burial markers can be seen in the possible graveyard, or west of the enclosure as noted in the field note above, or evidence of it having been used as a graveyard (though there is a cross slab (WI023-014001-) reused as a step giving acccess to the site from the road to the N).
