Archaeology Notes

NY36NW 31.01 319 680

(Location cited as NY 320 680). The OS map of 1857 marks a sundial standing in the churchyard. A recent search of the area has revealed no trace of this dial, so that its type cannot now be determined. In the section of the churchyard where its position is shown, there are many post-1857 tombstones, so that it may have been removed to provide more room for burials.

A McCracken 1973.
