In a close adjacent to preceptory TF 008537 two
mounds existed till 1854 (not on 1" of 1824) in which cannon
balls were found (1). Cromwell placed his cannon on the hills
to the west, battered down a great part of the church and
pierced the bower with shot. (2.3). Nothing visible on air
photographs. (1-4)

Perambulation and air photograph inspection produced no evidence
of a civil war work in this area; the only adjacent earthwork
being a mill mound (TF 05 SW 9). Tithe maps not available in CRO
for field names and the farmer had no knowledge of such or of
any archaeological finds. To the west of the preceptory there
is a rise of some 20.0m but this is not a topographically
strong military offensive position. (5)
