The site of a Cluniac priory immediately east of Abbey Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Somerset, England. The priory belongs to the medieval period and represents the material remains of an establishment within the Cluniac monastic tradition, which was characterised by strict adherence to Benedictine rule and centralised governance under the abbey of Cluny in Burgundy. The physical character of the site consists of archaeological evidence and earthworks relating to the priory's former buildings and layout, though substantial structural remains are not documented as surviving above ground. The monument reflects the significant role that Cluniac houses played in medieval religious life and land ownership in England during the High and Late Medieval periods.
