Monument record 346/0/1 - Combermere Abbey Precinct Boundary

A watercourse running east-west from the outlet south of Comber Mere to the Cocked Hat and the buried and visible remains of a watercourse running east-west from the Cocked Hat, turning north-south to Comber Mere. This boundary defined the parkland depicted on the late eighteenth century estate map and it is likely that this boundary was originally created as the precinct boundary to the Cistercian monastery. The precinct was the area surrounding the abbey and would include the buildings, outbuildings, cemetery, fishponds etc. associated with it.
