At NY 1667 7267 are the grass-covered foundations of an enclosure 5.5m square over walls about 1.0m thick, which A E Truckell, Dumfries Museum, asserts are the remains of the later or 12th - 13th century church. Immediately to the N of this enclosure is a short length of wall, grass-covered, about 5.0m long, 0.9m thich and 0.8m high, which Truckell considers to be the remains of an earlier or 8th century church. No conclusions as to dating could be drawn from field inspection of this site, except that the remains are fairly old. Numerous finds from the site (including two 8th century crosses) are in Dumfries Museum, many as yet not catalogued.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
