Little Oxendon is a deserted medieval village in Northamptonshire, England, that represents a settlement abandoned during the late medieval period. The site contains the earthwork remains of former dwellings, field systems, and a church, which together document the layout and extent of the medieval community that once occupied this location. The village's desertion reflects the broader process of settlement shift and depopulation that affected many English villages from the fourteenth century onwards, driven by factors including economic change, plague, and the consolidation of agricultural holdings. The surviving earthworks and any associated artefactual material make Little Oxendon a significant archaeological record of medieval rural life and settlement patterns in the East Midlands.
