Probable site of medieval chapel, and parish church from 1734. A fragment from the churchyard was moved into the church in 1999.
(1) Much-worn fragment of cross-slab with short side-arms, 1.21m by 0.47m. A cross with wide rounded armpits has a 0.45m ring enclosing in the armpits small figures with arms clasped round bent knees. The cross-arms contained interlocking spirals linked to a triple-spiral central roundel, and they overlie a cruciform frame formed by a 60mm band. The top arm extends to form a cross with narrow round armpits, filled with interlace, flanked by two crosslets. This cross is framed by a 60mm margin which returns obliquely to form a gable, although a flange of stone indicates that the slab itself may have had a rectangular top. An 8th- or 9th-century date is probable.
