Goldcliff Priory, Benedictine priory ruins in Monmouthshire, Wales.
The foundation remains of Goldcliff Priory include a central block with wings measuring 37 meters by 11 meters, adjacent to an earthwork enclosure.
Robert de Chandos established the priory in 1113 as a subsidiary house of the Abbey of Bec in Normandy, endowing it with the manor of Monksilver in Somerset.
The monastic community at Goldcliff Priory distinguished itself by wearing white habits instead of the traditional black garments worn by other Benedictine monks.
The location of the priory is marked by foundations visible through aerial photography, situated near Hill Farm at coordinates 51.5334 latitude and -2.9072 longitude.
The monks developed an extensive drainage system, including the construction of Monksditch, which transformed the coastal salt marshes into agricultural land.
