What is recorded here

On improved pasture c. 300m S of foreshore, in the SW quadrant of a poorly preserved ecclesiastical enclosure (CL002-008001-). A rectangular graveyard (int. dims. 42m NNE-SSW; 24m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a mortared stone wall (H 1.7m; Wth 0.4m). Access is through an iron gate set in well-dressed piers on the SSW side (Wth 1.3m). A rectangular medieval church (CL002-008002-) sits N of centre. To the S of the church regularly spaced N–S lines of small flags and boulders are set 1.8–2.3m apart. Two rough slab-lined graves lie c. 6.5m S of the church, 2.5m apart. One (L 2.5m; Wth 1.5m) is defined by irregular limestone blocks projecting (av. H 0.1m) above the sod cover, with some flat flags on its E end and a slab of undressed limestone (H 0.9m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.2m) standing at its W end. The other (L 3m; W 1.9m) is defined by a double line of small blocks of undressed stone. There are several more formally marked 20th century graves S and W of the church and several small grassed-over clearance cairns stand in the S of the graveyard.
