This has been recorded as the location of St Andrews church, which was in ruins by the mid 16th century, the surrounding village having been deserted. More recent evidence, however, suggests that the site probably lies further to the southwest, where a cropmark enclosure has been recorded (NHER 18125). Ploughing in the 1940s reportedly revealed glazed floor tiles and skeletons. Metal detecting in 1999 recovered a Late Saxon bridle cheek piece and a medieval cauldron leg.
