Part of Launceston Priory 50m south-east of St Thomas' Church is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork remains of the Augustinian priory established in the 12th century. The site contains fragmentary foundations and ground-level features that reflect the priory's medieval layout, which operated until its dissolution during the Reformation in the 16th century. The surviving remains, situated adjacent to the parish church in Launceston town centre, provide archaeological evidence of the religious institution's physical extent and organisation. The monument is protected by scheduling to preserve this record of Launceston's ecclesiastical history and the material culture of medieval monastic life in Cornwall.
