Description
The Pillpriory Ruins are a Grade II* listed structure featuring a broad unmoulded pointed arch made of purplish rubble stone with rough voussoirs. On the eastern side, there are clear indications of a chancel gable, which includes a tall arched light at the apex and walls that rise as shoulders on either side, adorned with narrow lancets. The northern side has the remains of a mural stair buttress. There are also the beginnings of a plain pointed arch extending west from the northwest angle.
Historical prints indicate that there was once an additional storey above, which featured two lancets. This upper section was already crumbling in a 1771 engraving by Picot but appeared complete, though possibly conjectural, in an early 19th-century view by Gastineau. It is noted that this section is said to have collapsed in 1826, according to Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
