What is recorded here
In a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD013-008001-) and containing a medieval church (KD013-008002-), a cross-inscribed headstone and a fragment of a baptismal font (KD013-008005-). A very overgrown area with burials concentrated to the N, S and W of the church, the legible majority, apparently, dating from the 19th century to the present day. The graveyard is still in use.
