Located on a small triangular W-E promontory (dims c. 90m E-W; c. 70m N-S at W) with sea-cliffs on the N (H c. 2m) and SE (H c. 5m) sides. The parish church of St Helen’s (WX048-037001-) is within a rectangular graveyard (int. dims c. 70m ENE-WSW; 40m NNW-SSE) that has a dense cover of sea-grass and some blackthorn. It is bordered by a sunken N-S path (Wth c. 3m; max. D 1m) immediately W of the church, and is defined by a low bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext.
