Notes
The probable remains of a medieval church in a walled burial ground. Records of this church in 1441 show a certain 'Fyngonius Fyngonii, of noble race, perpetual vicar of St Fynnae in Cola (ed. has 'St Fynnae Incola'), d. Sodor', appearing later that year as 'Fingonius Fyngoniis, perp. vicar of St Fynne in Cola' (CSSR iv, no. 820, 826).
