Full Description
Just outside the south-east corner of the existing Grange buildings, what appears to be a rectangular, levelled area 'cut' into the hillside associated with earthen banks is visible. This may relate to the medieval buildings at the Grange (see SMR 15723, 29303). (1,2).
Bevan records this earthwork area and the earthwork in SMR 29303 as one complete area of medieval field system. It is comprised of lynchets, banks and ditches and is probably connected to the monastic grange (SMR 15723). (3).
