Full Description
14 September 1984. Noted from tithe map and vertical aerial photographs.
Two larger than normal dykes coloured in blue on map (usually adopted for ponds etc) more fragmentary on present Ordnance Survey 6 inch map. Probably part of moat or fishponds. Note that vertical aerial photograph may indicate further traces of regular ditches in pasture west of Priory House.
R. J. Silvester (NAU), 17 September 1984 (site not visited).
1993. Southern part of site visited by E. Rose (NLA).
Bumpy area of pasture; difficult to make out anything on the ground, but 1969 vertical aerial photograph does indeed seem to show a rectangle here, crossed cy path from house to church. Northern part, where ponds shown on tithe map, is partly a flat grass lawn crossed by drive and partly arable.
E. Rose (NLA), 27 July 1993.
Extreme west area under trees, remainder cut pasture, surrounded by sheep fencing. Drainage pipes have been inserted at some time in the recent past.
H. Paterson (NLA), 18 November 1996.
