Site of Heynings Priory is a Benedictine priory located in Lincolnshire, founded in the twelfth century as a daughter house associated with monastic communities in the region. The priory occupied a site in the marshland areas of Lincolnshire and would have functioned as a religious community engaged in agricultural management and spiritual life typical of medieval monastic establishments. Little survives above ground today, with the site now represented principally by earthworks and subsurface archaeological remains that mark the location of the former monastic buildings and associated structures. The priory was dissolved during the sixteenth century Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, after which the site was abandoned and gradually obscured.
