Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope at the point where the land falls away to the valley of a small SW-NE stream at the point where the stream turns SE. There is no visible traces at ground level of a church (WX035-049001-) within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30-45m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks and hedges apart from a cairn (dims. 7m x 3m; H 1m). The site of St Colman's Well (WX040-002----) is c. 40m S of the graveyard. Archaeological testing (13E0076) in the field immediately to the E identified many archaeological features including pits, gullies and ditches, and recovered pottery of a late 12th century or 13th century date. A ditch (Wth c. 2m; D 0.7m plus) c. 50m E of the graveyard and apparently centered on it could be an ecclesiastical enclosure.(McLoughlin 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 20 December, 2016
