Although there were no indicative remains of the priory on aerial photographs viewed as part of the SE Warwickshire and Cotswolds HLS NMP project there were earthwork features which may have been associated with the priory. These were mainly field boundaries situated to the northeast of the farm, and an enclosure that enclosed the western and southern part of the farm, which is marked on the 2nd edition OS map (1902), but may have had earlier origins. These features have been recorded in Monument Number: 1568917. (4) |
