The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel and burial ground, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to AD1000.


The Ordnance Survey recorded a description based on field observations; 'In a field to the immediate SE of Speke is pointed out the site of an ancient Chapel and Burial Ground. A number of stone lined graves are to be seen in the road running past the East end of the field, and during the construction of the road a large quantity of human bones were found. There is no tradition regarding the spot.'


Lintel graves have been discovered on the site at different times. In 1909, Mr R Lace examined fourteen of these, which were of the usual character, and in one of them were remains of two adult skeletons. He tried to ascertain the original size of the cemetery; the boundaries were gone but he found from the position of the burials that it had been about 180 metres in diameter.  Geophysical survey has now defined the burial ground more accurately.  A single lintel grave containing a fairly well-preserved skeleton was excavated by L.S. Garrad.
