Abstract:		 Excavations in May - June 2015 at land east of The Vicarage, St Mary's Road Hinckley, Leicestershire (centred on the National Grid Reference SP 4276 9376). have revealed evidence of medieval settlement activity, represented by timber buildings, cobbled yard surfaces and pond features. The timber buildings appear to have been short lived and date to the 11th to 12th century. The site may be associated with St Mary's Priory located directly to the north of the site. The Priory was founded by the Benedictine Order before 1209 and was believed to have been closed by the early 1400s. The possible fishponds believed to be associated with the Priory are recorded to the west, south and east of the site shown on the Robinson's Plan, dated 1782. The pond features are periodically cleared but are thought to be finally allowed to fill up with silt once the Priory was closed. The site remains as open land during the post medieval period with the pond features backfilled and the ground levelled by the 17th to 18th centuries. Worked stone fragments were present on the surface within the site and are likely to be associated with the rebuilding of St Marys church in the 19th century.
