Today
All the buildings have now been destroyed except a rubble and timber-framed structure which may date from the 15th century. The remnants were Grade II listed in 1954.
On the same site is the now disused Osney Mill, close to Osney Lock. To the west is Osney Cemetery and to the south is Osney Mill Marina, on a 500m long island originally formed for the mill. To the north are the busy arterial road leading west out of Oxford, Botley Road, and Oxford railway station.
There is a Catholic priest who holds the title Abbot of Osney Abbey. He is known as a "Titular Abbot" — one who holds the title of a suppressed or destroyed abbey.
