What is recorded here

Situated on level ground with gentle E-facing slopes above and below the site. Traditionally the site of a monastic foundation associated with the Welsh saint Pol (Paul) and later belonging to the Templars and subsequently the Hospitallers in the 16th century. Not visible at ground level. Bones are believed locally to have been found during the construction of an extension to the adjacent house in the 1950s (Price 1967, 435). A dry fosse on the N edge of the garden could represent the N boundary of the graveyard. A holy well (WI031-008----), also dedicated to St Paul, lies c. 100m to the E in Kilpoole Lower.
