What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. It is marked as a subrectangular area (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 15m E-W at N; c. 40m E-W at S) on the 1836 and 1909 eds of the OS 6-inch map and it is described on both as the site of a graveyard. Cogan (1862-70, 1, 189-90) records that the church (ME050-009----) had been destroyed and its graveyard desecrated c. 1830 when cartloads of bones were removed. A ditch had been dug through it and bones were protruding from its sides. It is recorded locally that bones were uncovered there in the mid-20th century (SMR file, 1968). There is no evidence of the church or burial. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 April, 2015
