In the N corner of the graveyard (DG103-002003-) is a low grass covered grave-mound at either end of which is a dressed fragment (DG103-002002-). On the S is a weathered block with late medieval moulding of alternate right angles and cavettos; possibly from a door. On the N is a window jamb fragment; probably of similar date. These undoubtedly came from the parish church. The church is located in a still-used rectangular graveyard which seems formerly to have been larger in extent. The site is the location of an early ecclesiastical settlement (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 35).
