What is recorded here

On a level plateau within the N side of the graveyard, in the village of Kilfeakle. An upstanding portion of the N wall and grass-covered traces of the E wall and the return of the W wall of the church are visible. The N wall (L 6.5m; T 0.75m; H 2.3m) is constructed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed, with evidence of a medium-course mortar. Cut, punched and dressed stones from the church are incorporated into the modern graveyard wall. The earliest headstone noted inside the church dates to 1730. It is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular ruin (dims. c. 14.5m E-W; c. 8.5m N-S) within a sub-rectangular graveyard. This church appears to post-date another 'Kilfeakle Church' (TS059-142----) c. 1km to NW.
