What is recorded here
Situated in pasture towards the top of a gentle NW-facing slope overlooking the E-W Lickey river, which is c. 500m to the N. It is described as a ‘Burial Ground’ and depicted as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 35m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by field banks with the straight side at NW only on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is traditionally known as Páirc na Cille - the field of the church (Power 1952, 93). Nothing is visible at ground level, apart from a slightly dished circular area (diam. 26m).
