The site of St Mary's Church and associated cemetery, located 300 metres north west of Manor Farm in Dorset, is a scheduled ancient monument representing the remains of a medieval parish church and its burial ground. The monument dates to the medieval period, with the church likely founded in the twelfth or thirteenth century, though the exact chronology of construction and use requires further archaeological investigation. The site comprises both the structural remains of the church building and the surrounding cemetery ground, which would have served the local parish community over several centuries of occupation. The monument is now recorded as an earthwork or archaeological site rather than as a standing structure, indicating that significant portions of the original church fabric have been lost or buried.
