History
Remains of medieval Priory buildings incorporated in ruined post-medieval outbuilding . Building is in line with Priory Farmhouse and to NW of priory church and was presumably part of the monastic ranges. The S front wall with the roof was demolished in the C20,.

There were outside stone steps at the W end with segmental-pointed opening below. 1981 listing mentions pointed masonry arches over some openings in S elevation.
Exterior
Ruins of outbuilding formerly of one storey and loft with stone walls and slate roof. Front wall and roof have been removed, leaving rubble stone end walls and a medieval former internal back wall of two wide pointed arches with stone voussoirs, flat wall-top. Remains of a lean-to to N. Springing line of further arch jutting forward from E end of outbuilding beyond E end gable, which has one first floor window with stone voussoirs. W end gable is much thicker at ground floor and has tall door to first floor to N of centre. Ground floor low door beneath with timber lintel. Internal rubble wall running S from pier between the two arches, flat-topped below springing level of arches.
