At a very short distance from the W end of the chapel (OR
110) flagstone-lined graves were discovered, close together in
rows, lying with heads to the W on their right sides with knees
bent. Gold ring found and soon afterwards broken. Slab with
rude Cross of Calvary formed one of the grave-sides. The cross
upright was 13in long, the beam 9in. [R1]
Probably associates with the chapel OR 110 which is on site
of prehistoric structure OR 109.
