Bradenstoke Priory is a former Augustinian priory located in Wiltshire, founded in the twelfth century and dissolved during the Reformation. The priory's estate included a system of fishponds constructed to supply the religious community, typical of monastic land management practices of the medieval period. Associated with the priory complex is Clack Mount, a motte and bailey earthwork with surrounding defensive and agricultural features that may represent either an earlier Norman fortification or a manorial administrative centre connected to the priory's operations. The combination of monastic fishponds and the fortified earthwork demonstrates the integration of religious, defensive, and economic functions within a substantial medieval estate.
