The National Monuments Service's description
Linear earthworks and field system in fields to S, W and N of 13th century Dominican friary (TN004-010001-) appear to be associated with the friary. Linear earthworks to N of friary appear to be linked with the nearby stream and may be related to the mill (TN004-010005-) such as mill ponds or may have been fish ponds. The earthworks to the S of the friary may be associated with medieval settlement.
