Clarendon Palace is a royal residence situated near Salisbury in Wiltshire, developed from the twelfth century onwards as a hunting lodge and administrative centre for the English monarchy. The palace achieved particular prominence during the reign of Henry II, who made extensive use of the site and undertook substantial building works there in the mid-twelfth century. The surviving archaeological remains include foundations and fragmentary stonework that testify to the palace's former grandeur, though the structures were largely dismantled following the English Civil War. The site represents an important example of medieval royal domestic architecture and served as a significant seat of government during the medieval period, declining in use after the seventeenth century.
