The site of Correrie or Lower House to Hinton Priory is a dispersed monastic settlement in Somerset forming part of the medieval Hinton Priory complex. The structure belonged to the Carthusian priory founded in the twelfth century, with the Correrie representing an outlying subsidiary building or grange associated with the main conventual establishment. The site reflects the characteristic monastic organisation whereby religious communities maintained dependent properties for agricultural and economic purposes across their estates. The remains survive as an archaeological site rather than as standing structures, preserving evidence of this important aspect of Somerset's monastic heritage.
