What is recorded here

The church (WX045-002001-) is within a small oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 25-30m N-S) as depicted on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a level landscape. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level in pasture but traces of an enclosing element (diam. c. 30-40m) can be seen on vertical aerial photographs (GSIAP: S 197/198) dating from 1973, and a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 80-90m) is visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995).
