Visit Notes

Tuesday, 18th December 2001

If the scaffolding was missing then this tower might have some character. The ruined monastic building all have 'Dangerous Structure' signs on them and the grave yard is nothing special. As with all sites of this age the ground is littered with simple stones denoting the location of 'somebody's' grave.
