Documents record the existance of a setlement at Rennington from 1267, and the site occupies an open area within the shrunken medieval settlement. The burried remains comprise a series of partially excavated stone features standing one course high; early on site analysis suggested that the features comprise part of a rectangular building oriented east ro west with an apsidal east end, and have been interpreted as a church. Pottery recovered from the structure has been tentatively date to the 12th - 14th centuries and two pieces of window tracery are at least of mid 13th century date.
It has been suggested that the nature of the rubble overlying the remains point to deliberate demolition rather than collapse and that this possibly occured in the 14th century during the sacking of the area by Lord Douglas during the Wallace rebellion. (1)(2a)
