The National Monuments Service's description
Described as the site of a church within a circular graveyard (diam. c. 90-100m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as the site of a church on the 1924 ed. of the map. It is situated at the crest of a gentle S-facing slope. The remains of the church (WX020-004001-) are on the S side of an E-W field bank. The bank (Wth 6–8m; H 0.3m) of a circular ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. 83m E-W) survives SW–N–E forming a D-shaped enclosure (dim. 59m N-S) on the N side of the field bank.
