The remains of a two storey dwelling survives on the site of a monastery described in the OS Letters in 1837 (Herity 2002, 36). In 1990 proposed development on the periphery of this site necessitated the archaeological clearance of the areas to the north, east and south (licence no. E000586). No features were encountered and the only finds of archaeological interest were two sherds of Sgraffitto-type pottery, and a portion of a large quernstone. In the absence of evidence for enclosure or burial in the extensive areas examined, it remains doubtful whether this was ever an early ecclesiastical site (Swan 1991, 27).
