Description POSI A large pile of boulders, cobbles, plaster chunks, many with lichenation. Identification as church based on 1925 cadastral map. Some of the stones appear to have been bulldozed to create nearby field boundaries. Stone boundary to west could possibly have originally functioned as a wall related to the church. One piece of painted plaster found in SU0639 is possibly related to the church. Two pieces of painted plaster found in field east of the ruins immediately adjacent to the rubble pile in SU0639.Originally = TP025.PU03
