Burying Ground

Situated on a low knoll or hillock in the NE corner of a field. Poorly preserved ivy-clad ruins of a long church (WM010-012----) standing in the centre of an oval-shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 50m N-S x 40m E-W) defined by a stone wall (H 1m) of modern appearance. Only the E and S walls of the church survive upstanding with grass-covered wall footings indicating the line of the church walls elsewhere. Curving graveyard wall from S to SW appears to be built on top of a low earth and stone bank, which appears to be the remains of an earlier graveyard boundary. The graveyard contains 18th and 19 century memorials. Low field banks or linear earthworks in the adjoining field to SW appear to be post-1700 in date.
