Church (in ruins)

Rectangular church (int. dims. 20.8m E-W; 5.8m N-S) constructed of roughly coursed limestone blocks and rubble. Beam-holes in N and S walls at W end of church are almost certainly for carrying a loft. Large blocks of masonry in W wall possibly belong to an earlier church. Remaining features include a three-light round-headed window with glazing-bar holes, in E gable, small plain flat-headed windows in N and S walls of nave, and small round-headed windows in N and S walls of chancel. No evidence of W doorway or window.
