Summary

According to a map of 1740 the is the site of a medieval manor. If this was the Prior's Manor, it had been rebuilt on an old site in 1342 with a new chapel, and had a vineyard established before 1263-1317. Sadly, it is hard to investigate the site further as the field here had been completely built over by around 1960.

Assessment of the aerial photographs for this area revealed no obvious trace of the trace of the site of the Manor. It is however possible that some component remains within Victoria Plantation to the immediate west.
