What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Canonbie Priory as Priory (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Canonbie Priory was a medieval Cistercian priory founded in the 12th century, likely linked to the nearby Canonbie Holy Well, which is associated with Saint Bieu or Saint Beu, a 7th-century Irish saint. The well was traditionally visited for healing and as a site of pilgrimage, with customs including the leaving of coins and prayers for health and protection.
