Nocton Park Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Lincolnshire, situated on elevated ground near Nocton Wood. The priory was established as a daughter house and operated throughout the medieval period until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Archaeological investigation and earthwork surveys have revealed the remains of the priory buildings distributed across the site on Abbey Hill, including evidence of the cloister and associated structures characteristic of a monastic foundation. The surviving physical remains consist primarily of ground-level features and archaeological deposits that indicate the scale and layout of this once-functioning religious community.
