Description :
A monastic property beloning to Llantarnam. The approximate location of the supposed site of an unfortified manor, court house (church property) or grange, extant in the 14th century, identified from documentary sources by Rees. No assistance in identifying its former location is given in the Tithe Award of 1839, and the farms of Abercarn Fach and Abercarn Fawr in the area indicated by Rees are of comparatively modern date. Probably a misplaced version of PRN 00127g, which is on the other side of the river. (OS card)
Williams (1976, 89) states that at the time of the Dissolution, Abercarn was apparantly still worked on the manorial system.

Part of Aber-carn manor. Valley grange possibly located at Post-medieval Chapel Farm. Lands now school site and Chapel Farm Industrial Estate. Probably part of the Bassaleg Priory land gifted to
the abbey circa 1200. Managed by bailiff Jenkin ap Morgan at Dissolution (Procter 2018).
