What is recorded here
In marshy pastureland; an E-W running stream flows to the S. According local information, this is the site of a nunnery. It consists of the remains of a rectangular structure (10.8m N-S; 5m E-W). Only the grassed-over N wall (Wth 0.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m) and the return of the W wall (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.7m) as well as a short stretch (L 5.4m) of the S end of the latter wall survive. There is no visible surface trace of the E or S walls; a N-S running field boundary overlies the line of the E wall. While the walls are obscured by grass and rubble, where visible they consist of double-faced walls with a rubble core and they are roughly coursed and composed of limestone.
