I can understand them wanting to keep them covered but it seems such a shame that they are so close and most people don't know about them ...How wonderful it would be for local schoolchildren to see this history

I think it is time for them to move what stones remain to safety and do a full survey on the church before it is too late to do either.
All that is happening at the moment is decay.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

My daughter is studying archeology in Belfast. I will have to take her there when she comes over.

...I'd recommend emailing Rob Philpott at Liverpool Museum. Could be wrong, but I seem to think he used to live in the area and I imagine such things come under the Museum's jurisdiction.
Rob's more of a specialist in Roman archaeology but has been involved in other Wirral projects, like Meols. At the very least I'm sure he'd advise you of any unpublished reports or surveys that might exist already...

Many years ago my dad enquired about buying this land and was told it was a viking burial ground and he wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Needless to say he didn't end up buying it! I have always wondered about going there and having a wander though

The area ringed in red on the map is not the actual grave site, I have lived on the Overchurch all my life and Stll do, I liive about 100 yards from the site. This site is also protected by the Secretary of State.
