The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gently undulating landscape. The chapel (WX047-004001-) is at the SW edge of a rectangular, grass-covered enclosure (dims 70m NE-SW; 55m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 6.5-8.5m; H c. 0.5m) and shallow outer fosse (Wth 8-9m) on the NE, SE and SW sides, with an irregular scarp at the NW side. This could serve as a churchyard. There is a small annexe (dims 43m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by a fosse attached to the NE side of the churchyard. There is no evidence of burial anywhere apart from the remains of a brick vault within the chapel.
