| Summary : The remains of the monastic precinct of Buckland Abbey. The land forming the monastic precinct was traditionally enclosed behind all the buildings and structures, both agricultural and industrial, associated with the degree of self sufficiency that the abbey was capable of sustaining. At Buckland part of the line of the precinct has been identified with two short lengths of walling. Adjacent to the south east corner of the barn there is a substantial wall some 10 metres in length and 4.5 metres high which includes two slit windows, internally splayed with round headed arches. There is an inset beneath the windows that probably indicates a floor level. A longer section of walling survives to the east of the Linhay, it has flour slit windows of identical design, but no inset. Both sections of wall contain putlog (scaffolding) holes. Scheduled. |
