What is recorded here

Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular church standing in the centre of a rectangular shaped graveyard (WM017-005003-). The rectangular-shaped graveyard is enclosed by a post-1700 wall with remains of a relatively modern church standing in the centre of the graveyard. The graveyard contains many relatively modern tombstones. Immediately inside the graveyard wall there are the remains of a curving earthen bank which forms a circular enclosure around the church and may be the remains of an Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (WM017-005001-). The only other possibly early feature is a crossslab (WM017-005002-). The terrier of the 1654-7 Down Survey map of Piercetowne parish recorded that 'on Relicke stands the ruins of a church' (NLI, MS 723-4).
