Barlinch Priory is a Premonstratensian establishment founded in the late twelfth century in the parish of Dulverton, Somerset. The priory was established as a dependent house, initially colonised from Torre Abbey in Devon, and served as a centre of religious life in the Exe valley until its dissolution in the sixteenth century. The surviving remains include fragments of stone buildings and earthwork features that indicate the scale and layout of the monastic precinct. The site retains archaeological significance as evidence of medieval religious settlement and the material culture of the Premonstratensian order in southwestern England.
