Boundary confidence: none
Boundary basis: The available evidence establishes the manor house and the historical existence of the manor, but does not provide a manor-specific mapped perimeter or sufficiently explicit parcel-by-parcel boundary. The documented 755-acre figure applies to the historical parish, not necessarily to the manorial landholding, so no polygon is inferred from it.

Warnings / uncertainty:

- Do not substitute the historical or modern parish boundary for the manor boundary.
- The representative point marks the documented manor house, not the centroid or full extent of the manorial lands.
