The remains of this medieval parish church stand within its burial-enclosure on the SSE flank of Park Hill. The church measures 13.7m from E to W by 6.3m transversely over stone walls 0.9m thick and no more than 0.9m high; the interior is choked with clearance material but what may be a sill-stone lies beside the S door.
The burial-ground has been laid out across a series of cultivation terraces and, on the N, there is what may be a rectangular building platform measuring 11.7m from E to W by 8.7m transversely overall. The E half of the burial-ground is curvilinear, but to the W the perimeter has been extended to the edge of a trackway and it is markedly rectilinear. A number of 18th-century gravestones and a table-tomb survive, and what are presumably other graves are marked by small stones protruding through the turf. A spread of stones adjacent to three grave-slabs to the S of the church may be the remains of a burial-enclosure.
The church is on record about 1180 and was presumably suppressed after the Reformation.
