Remaining Site
The ruin consists of the intact square south tower of the temple church, one of two added to the original structure during the Templars' tenure, north and south of the chancel. The car park is on the site of the round nave.
About 50 yards (46 m) away from the tower, on a farm track passing the site, is a curious structure, a column about 25 feet (7.6 m) high, about 18 inches by 18 inches (460 mm) at the base, made of some sort of stone, and with small drawers inset. The column tapers as it goes up, and the drawers get progressively smaller, up to about the 7-foot (2.1 m) mark. The drawers will pull open. This is a sculpture of concrete, steel and wood. It is not very old, and unconnected with the Templar site
