The site of the medieval village, Cistercian priory and post-Dissolution house and gardens of Lower Catesby is a scheduled ancient monument in Northamptonshire comprising the archaeological remains of a monastic settlement and its associated landscape features. The priory was established as a Cistercian foundation during the medieval period and served as a centre of religious life until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Following the Dissolution, the priory lands were converted to secular use, with a post-Dissolution house and gardens established on or near the original monastic site. The monument includes extensive ridge and furrow earthworks associated with both the medieval settlement and its agricultural hinterland, providing evidence of the landscape organisation and land use patterns characteristic of this period.
