The three grave covers are situated in what is listed as the Priory cemetery. There are no names but have ornate crosses on them. One is broken.
Priory was founded about 1154 and lasted until the dissolution of the Monastries in 1538. Priory was plundered after that time. Most of the buildings have gone, only outlines remaining. Some of the other ruins remain- Gatehouse with porter's Lodge, Administrative building complete and ruins of the main building.
