Nunnery Hill and adjacent earthworks, Little Kelk, is a scheduled monument representing the remains of a medieval nunnery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises earthwork vestiges including banks and ditches that delineate the former monastic enclosure and associated features of the religious community that occupied the location. The monument dates to the medieval period, reflecting the establishment and occupation of this daughter house or independent convent within the Yorkshire landscape. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of the layout and extent of the priory structures, though the site now exists largely as upstanding banks and ditches that continue to inform understanding of medieval monastic organisation in northern England.
