Fortified abbey. Machicolated C14 gate tower only remains of defenses. Was a monastry of Premonstratensian canons. A precinct wall delimeted the North side of the site, with the extant gatehouse near the middle. The River Aln demarked the South side. The church was placed roughly centrally, with the claustral range to the South.
