West Acre Priory is a Augustinian foundation of the twelfth century located in Norfolk. The priory was established as a house of regular canons and developed as an important religious community throughout the medieval period. Within the precinct lies a square barrow, an earthwork of prehistoric origin that predates the priory establishment by millennia and represents an earlier phase of land use at the site. The surviving remains include archaeological features and earthworks that document both the monastic occupation and the earlier prehistoric settlement activity on this location.
