More information : A building platform is centred at SE 1699 8561 close to the western edge of Jervaulx Park just south of The Old Gatehouse (SE 18 NE 5). It measures c 24m north to south by 10m, and is terraced into the foot of rising ground. The Park is currently used as pasture for sheep and cattle, but stone rubble is visible beneath the grass over the area of the platform. The feature lies within the area of the medieval precinct (SE 18 NE 148) of Jervaulx Abbey, and is therefore most probably monastic.
Surveyed at 1:1000 scale as part of the RCHME Jervaulx Abbey Survey (feature BC5). See report (1a) and plans in the NMR for more details. (1) |
