Description :
A grange of Llantarnam, with earthworks at SO400084 (Bradney 1914, 104; Williams 2001, 304 no.75a). There is a cluster of post-medieval houses with names with monastic associations, Tre-Mynach (01875g, 01880g) Lower Tre-Mynach, and Wern-y-cwrt (02136g); there is however a a motte here (PRN 1874g), so it would also have seemed to have been in lay ownership for at least part of the Middle Ages; however the moat (PRN 02136g) could be related to the grange. There was also a Chapel Farm st SO398092, which is shown on the tithe map as occupying half an almond shape.
Report of post-med burials here (PRN 00810g) 'locally said to be the burial place of persons killed in the civil wars.under the earthen mound is a vaulted arch of brick, beneath which are the human remains' (Bradney 1914, 103)
