The site of abbey church and claustral buildings is a scheduled monument in Leicestershire comprising the archaeological remains of a medieval religious community. The site represents the layout and structural footprint of monastic buildings that would have included the abbey church and associated claustral ranges organised around a central cloister, typical of substantial medieval priories or abbeys. These remains are significant for understanding medieval monastic planning and organisation, and the site retains buried archaeological deposits and earthwork features that document its former extent and use. The monuments date to the medieval period, and their survival as scheduled archaeological remains makes them important sources for the study of religious life and monastic economy in medieval Leicestershire.
