Ruins of building approx. 230 metres north north-east of Church of St Cuthbert

(formerly listed as remains of Halsall Abbey)

II

Possible remains of priest's house, later folly. C14, probably altered
late C18 or early C19. Squared sandstone. A masonry wall survives to a
maximum height of approximately 5 metres. At the eastern end is a double-
chamfered doorway with depressed pointed arch. To the west is a gap, a
free-standing square rubble pier, and another gap. The remainder of the
wall has the splayed jamb of a window; the sill, moulded jambs, and part
of the springing of the arch of a second window; and a doorway similar to
the one at the east. To the south of the rubble pier is a second free-
standing rubble pier. Some of the stonework shows evidence of late C18 or
early C19 tooling, suggesting some reconstruction at that time. The
remains do not conform to any obviously medieval plan.
