Relick Grave Yd

Described in the OSL (Herity 2002, 45) as 'a small piece of ground covered with grass (in the (middle) of a cultivated field) called by the Inhabitants of the place 'the Roilic' (burial ground) which it is said was formerly used as a place of interment'. Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular area (dims. L c. 80m E-W; Wth c. 60m), named 'Relick Grave Yd', containing a church (KD013-023----) and a Holy Bush (KD018-008-). At the top of a very gentle tillage slope. While not fully ploughed-out, its area is significantly reduced from that indicated on the 1838 map, and it survives as a low, grass covered, rectangular platform (dims. L 20m N-S; Wth 12-15m; H 0.4-0.6m)), which carries tramlines from heavy machinery passing across it. It contained a church (KD013-023001-) and a Holy Bush (KD018-008----).
