Recorded monuments

• WI018-001001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. A nave (int. dims. 11.4m x 5.7m) and chancel (int. dims. 7m x c. 3.25m) church, defined by the foundations of an apparently unmortared rubble wall (max. H 1.3m). The inner face of the wall is better preserved than the outer face which is masked by earth and stone rubble forming a bank. The nave is divided from the chancel by a low wall which seems to be an integral part of the structure. The door appears to have been in the S wall. A triangular granite font with rounded angles and a central circular basin lies at the W end of the nave. The church is at the centre of an oval enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S x c. 40m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 0.8-1m; int. H 0.4m) with slight indications of a fosse at E-SE. No indication of an entrance and no grave-markers or internal features apart from the church. There is an earthfast bullaun stone with circular basin (diam. 0.2m; D 0.1m) c. 80m NE of enclosure. The field in which the site stands is known locally as the 'churchyard field'.
