What is recorded here

In open, level tillage. A sub-rectangular area (L c. 70m ENE-WSW; Wth c. 40m) is enclosed by an ivy covered, roughly coursed stone wall which curves gently at its ENE end where steps provide access. The overgrown interior is very uneven underfoot and the legible grave markers date from the early 18th and 19th centuries. A now levelled church (KD023-008----) stood in the E sector.
