Wymondley Priory is a medieval Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Hertfordshire, situated near the village of Wymondley. The site comprises substantial earthworks including a moat, enclosures, building platforms, and a hollow-way, which together preserve evidence of the monastic precinct and its associated landscape features. A barn of later construction survives as a standing structure within the complex. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation, after which the site gradually returned to agricultural use, though the earthwork remains indicate the former extent and organisation of this religious community.
