The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (02E1727) in an extensive area NW of the Augustinian priory (WA031-040005-) in Abbeyside has recorded extensive medieval remains in three fields. This comprises hearths, ditches and pits associated with medieval pottery. Close to the tower house (WA031-040006-) known as McGrath's castle the ditches are particuarly numerous and may form an enclousure SW of the castle, although no dating material was recoverd.
