Pre-Norman Church and Cross base

This excellent example of a pre-norman church stands within a sub-rectangular graveyard. The west gable and part of the south wall were built in the tenth century. The masonry on this section of the church is really stunning, the uniformity of the stones is incredible when compared to the 12th century east gable, see images below, the church was extended in the latter period. A lintelled trabeate doorway is situated in the centre of the west gable and a small section of antae is preserved in the south-west corner. There is a narrow ope in the east gable, with a wonderful round head carved from a single stone. There are two more opes present in the south wall.
