Burscough Augustinian Priory is a religious house founded in the early twelfth century in Lancashire, dedicated to the Augustinian order. The priory was established by the Norman lord Roger de Poitou and his descendants, becoming an important centre of religious life in the region during the medieval period. Today the site retains fragmentary remains of the monastic buildings, including parts of the church and claustral structures, though the priory was largely dismantled following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The surviving stonework and earthworks provide evidence of the priory's layout and construction, with the site now in the care of English Heritage as a scheduled monument.
