According to Cullen (1999, 36) this may have been the church mentioned in 1303 in an Ecclesiastical Commissioners Report as being capable of accommodating 90 people, and which may have been given into the control of the Knight's Hospitallers. Located to NE of centre in a graveyard (KD005-002002-). Known locally as 'St Coca's Church', it may occupy the site of a 6thC monastery (KD005-002----). Traces of the levelled church may survive as a slightly raised, rectangular area (dims L c. 18m E-W; Wth c. 6m; H 0.2-0.5m), at the NE edge of which a short length of walling (traceable L c. 3m; Wth 0.65m) composed of small blocks of mortared stone, projects through the sod cover. This may have been original location of the decorated medieval font (KD005-029----) now located in the nearby 'St Patrick's', 19th century Catholic church. The 1st ed. (1838) OS 6-inch map representation of a roofed church in the S corner of the graveyard may be a cartographic error?
