House

On a ridge of rock outcrop in upland region with panoramic views in all directions. Evidence of earthworks on aerial photographs (CUCAP 1968, AVS 49) which are suggestive of a medieval or post-medieval settlement around the church (TS054-009001-). Possible house, 20m SE of the church, consists of a rectangular area (dims. 6.7m N-S; 15m E-W), aligned E-W, defined by grassed-over wall-footings (Wth 1.8m crest; 3.6m base; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) at the E end and by a very low bank, more a scarp falling into the interior at the W end (int. H 1.06m; ext. H 0.09m) with a gap (Wth 1.2m), probably an entrance, in the N wall. The wall-footings of two other possible house sites have been identified (TS054-009003-; TS054-009004-) a large enclosure (TS054-009006-), all N and W of the church and a smaller enclosure (TS054-009007-) which encloses an area immediately NW of the church.
