Full Description

{2} The surviving remains, together with those planned by the OS before destruction and those visible on air photographs, indicate at least two separate phases. To the east, and now completely destroyed, was a rectangular area bounded on the south by a low bank and external ditch and probably on the west by at least a bank. The parish church stood in the south east corner and from the north side of the churchyard a low scarp extended north to form the east side of the area.
