What is recorded here

Walter de Riddlesford founded a nunnery here c. 1200, for either the Order of St Augustin or the Order of St Brigid (OS Letters 1837, 84). The extensive complex of low earthworks visible from the ground presumably relate to the nunnery and its associated graveyard which cannot now be precisely located. Mary's Well (KD040-014----) is situated nearby. The carved stone head of an angel from this site is now in a nearby garden, and some mouldings, possibly from this site, have been incorporated into the mill (No.). A medieval graveslab (KD040-010003-) reputedly originally from here (KD040-015001-) is now in Knockpatrick graveyard (KD040-010----). (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 317-8) Date of upload: 8 September 2016
