What is recorded here

Situated on top of rise of ground in undulating countryside with motte and bailey castle (WM003-037----) 50m to E. Medieval church ruins (WM003-038----) stands in centre of graveyard (WM003-038001-) which contains memorials of post-medieval date. The curvilinear shape of the graveyard wall along the S and W sides possibly indicates the presence of an Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (Swan 1988, 21).
