Walgrave Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument in Northamptonshire comprising the abandoned earthworks of a medieval settlement. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems and the platforms of former dwellings, representing the physical remains of a village that was depopulated, likely during the period of enclosure and sheep farming expansion in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These landscape features provide archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the social and economic changes that led to village desertion across the Midlands. The earthworks remain largely undisturbed, offering valuable testimony to the medieval agrarian economy and the landscape transformations of early modern England.
