What is recorded here
On a level landscape. The cluster of houses around the church is surrounded by a circular field system suggesting an oval ecclesiastical enclosure (RO055-003005-) (dims c. 200m E-W; c. 160m N-S) on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, which survives as stone walls and hedgerows SE-SW. Evidence of metal-working (RO055-003006-) was identified c. 50m outside the line of the enclosure to the NW.
