Recorded monuments

• KE068-014 Burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, with views SE to The Paps of Dana. A rectangular burial ground (52m E-W; 31m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 1.3m) with concrete coping. The entrance is in the E side and is approached by a road. The burial ground has been extended to the N by 10m and this area contains mid- to late 20th-century graves. Earlier 20th-century headstones, some uninscribed stone grave-markers and some unmarked grave-mounds occur in the older portion of the burial ground. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map, the burial ground is indicated as reduced in size (c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W). There is, however, no trace of the W boundary wall of the burial ground as it was then depicted.

• KE068-119 Bridge
  Description

  A random rubble road bridge (long axis E-W) spanning the Quagmire River. It has four segmental arches with roughly shaped voussoirs; the second arch from the E is slightly pointed on the upstream side but this may be due to collapse. The W arch (span 6m) is dry. Corbels project from the springing points of the arches. There are three low pointed cutwaters on the upstream side of the piers (Wth 1.1m) and rectangular projections on the downstream side. The arches are underpinned with concrete and the parapet walls are largely of concrete.
