What is recorded here
In pastureland. This ploughed-out ecclesiastical enclosure came to light in 2013 following a geophysical survey around the church (GA108-224----) and graveyard (GA108-224001-) which are almost centrally located within it. A drone survey carried out in July 2018 confirmed that the enclosure (153m N-S; 138m E-W) was roughly oval-shaped in plan and that enclosing element most likely consisted of a bank (Wth 5-7m) and fosse. Further features revealed in this survey included a number of internal rectangular and subrectangular enclosures that may be associated with the ecclesiastical enclosure or may be later features (Carey no date).
