A deserted medieval village and post-medieval farm buildings, 1.4 kilometres north-west of Yew Tree Cottage, is an ancient monument in Sussex comprising the archaeological remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period, with later agricultural structures dating to the post-medieval era. The site represents typical settlement desertion patterns observed across southern England, wherein communities relocated or contracted, leaving behind earthwork evidence of former habitation and farming activity. The archaeological deposits and visible features, including those of the farm buildings, document continuous or resumed occupation and land use extending beyond the medieval abandonment phase. The monument's location within Sussex, an area subject to intensive medieval settlement and subsequent reorganisation of the landscape, contributes to understanding broader patterns of settlement change in the region.
