Site of Marton Augustinian priory is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval religious house and its associated landscape features in Yorkshire. The priory, established for Augustinian canons, is evidenced by buried structures and ground-level features including the footprints of former buildings, together with the engineered water management systems integral to its medieval economy: a mill, fishponds, and water meadows. These ancillary features reflect the sophisticated agricultural and industrial operations that sustained the religious community and generated revenue. The site represents the physical expression of Augustinian monastic life from its foundation through the Dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century.
