Six graves. Pre-Conquest. Cut into the sandstone headland
close to St Patrick's Chapel (qv). Two are straight-sided and
four are body-shaped. All have socket-holes probably intended
for timber crosses. An associated cemetery to the south of the
chapel was excavated in the 1970s and bones were dated to the
10th and 11th centuries. Forms part of a Scheduled Ancient
Monument.
