  In overgrown larch plantation. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as roughly oval enclosure (c. 80m NW-SE; c. 50m SW-NE) defined by broken line, marked 'Site of Grave Yard' with rectangular ruinous structure (c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) (CO062-140002-) at centre, marked 'Site of Church'; only 'Church (site of)' marked on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps; surrounded by small triangular field on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Low mound (c. 10m E-W; c. 7m N-S), at centre of triangular field, represents only visible remains of site.
