The Site of Preceptory of Knights Hospitallers is a scheduled medieval monument located in Cambridgeshire representing the physical remains of an establishment of the Military Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. The preceptory, a administrative and religious centre of the Hospitallers, dates from the medieval period and would have served as a focal point for the Order's operations and land management in the region. Though now largely a subterranean archaeological site, it represents an important example of the extensive network of Hospitaller properties that extended across England during the medieval period. The monument's surviving earthworks and buried deposits preserve evidence of monastic settlement and economic activity associated with one of Christendom's most significant military religious orders.
