What is recorded here

Enclosure encircling the crest of a hill and part of the SW slope, in hilly terrain, under pasture. The enclosure is marked as a 'Burial Ground' on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. The N and W sides of the graveyard (TS077-078003-) are straight, however, the S and E sides are curving, possibly indicating the curve of an earlier enclosure. The much denuded church (TS077-078001-) lies W of centre within the graveyard. Within the graveyard a low earth and stone bank runs N-S parallel to and near the W side of the enclosure. The enclosing element is typical of a field bank (Wth 0.9m crest, c. 2.8m base; int. H 1.13m) and is surmounted by hedgerow. Approx. 2m beyond the straight-sided N wall, externally, there is a curving bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m) which may be the original line of the ecclesiastical enclosure. There is no trace of this bank in field to N and W, both of which are under tillage. In the field immediately S of the church and graveyard there is a low rectangular platform (diam. 19m N-S; 41m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.87m) on the S and W sides and a field bank to N and E.
