The National Monuments Service's description

Described in 1981 as 'The church (WM032-089----) is enclosed in a small graveyard (dims. c. 50m N-S; 46m E-W) by a polygonal-shaped stone wall. The surrounding field has recently been cleared and ploughed. There are no remains of earthworks' (SMR file 1981). The church ruins are located in the centre of the graveyard, to the SE of the church a small square is outlined on the 25-inch OS map. The significance of this feature is unclear. In 2009 the monument was entered into the Register of Historic Monuments (1/2009).
