Ellerton Priory is a Augustinian priory located in North Yorkshire, founded in the twelfth century as a house of Augustinian canons regular. The priory occupied a site in Swaledale and developed as a significant religious establishment during the medieval period, with the community maintaining properties and undertaking agricultural activities characteristic of monastic houses of its order. The remains visible today comprise fragmentary architectural evidence including stonework and earthworks that reflect the priory's layout and structures, though much of the site was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Archaeological investigation and documentary sources provide evidence of the priory's former extent and religious significance within the Yorkshire landscape.
