Cartmel Augustinian Priory gatehouse is a medieval structure forming part of the precinct defences of Cartmel Priory in Lancashire. The priory itself was founded in the twelfth century as a house of Augustinian canons and became one of the significant religious establishments in the north-west of England. The gatehouse and adjoining precinct walls represent the physical boundaries of monastic authority and control, typical of substantial priories of the medieval period. The gatehouse survives as a substantial stone-built structure that has retained considerable architectural integrity, demonstrating the quality of construction characteristic of later medieval monastic complexes.
