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.
