What is recorded here

Situated in a modern farmyard, 34m NE of Oldtown House. Church site (WM017-053----) c. 86m to WNW. Levelled monument not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography. Annotated ‘Site of Abbey’ on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map in the farmyard of Oldtown House which was enclosed by a range of agricultural outbuildings. On the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map, although annotated ‘Abbey (site of)’, the farm buildings at this location are no longer shown. Levelled abbey described in 1978 as having no visible surface remains in an area that was occupied by modern farm sheds. No medieval wall or any fabric of medieval date could be identified in the range of upstanding buildings.
