What is recorded here

No visible church remains at St Fintans, only a shallow circular bank and the memory of a small worship place set slightly off centre. That odd placement suggests the chamber was not the largest or grandest, but the most important point inside the enclosed ground. The lost building may have been little more than a bright oratory, yet the surviving ring still draws the eye back to the vacancy where faith once stood.

The small, oratory-like, building (DU015-031002-) is eccentrically located in a circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) which is defined by a flat-topped bank (Wth 6m, H 0.6m) best preserved to the east of the church. The 1937 edition OS 6-inch map shows a curved boundary to the west of the church which is probably a continuation of this ecclesiastical enclosure.
