What is recorded here

In rough pasture, with rising ground to N, and a farmstead immediately to NE. There is a children’s burial ground (MA061-093002-) 15m to SE. Aldridge (1969, 86) recorded that a rectangular plot, 30 feet [9m] by 11 feet [3.4m]', alongside the fence NW of the CBG [children's burial ground] is pointed out as the site of the church.' At this location there is a ruined rectangular stone-built building (c. 10m N-S; c. 6m E-W). Low remnants of the S, W and N walls (int. H c. 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) can be traced beneath dense overgrowth. The E wall has been incorporated into, or truncated by a field wall on a N−S axis. There is a bullaun stone (MA061-093003-) in the SW corner of the interior. The interior of the building is filled with loose rubble, with a sycamore tree growing out of it. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 16 March 2018
