The item includes an aerial photograph of the abbey and a drawing of the abbey dating to around 1700. The text describes the fate of the site after the dissolution, and advises visitors on moving around the site. It mentions that parts of the battlefield are still agricultural land and therefore not yet open to the public. As the 1984 guidebook mentions a battlefield walk, the item probably dates from the late 1970s.
