Walgrave Medieval Village is a deserted medieval settlement in Northamptonshire, England, representing a significant example of village depopulation during the medieval period. The abandoned areas preserve earthwork remains including ridge-and-furrow field systems, property boundaries, and structural platforms that indicate the layout and organisation of the settlement before its eventual decline. The site dates principally to the medieval period, with evidence suggesting occupation and agricultural use spanning several centuries. These archaeological remains provide important evidence for understanding patterns of medieval rural settlement, land use, and the social and economic factors that led to village abandonment in the English Midlands.
