Apley medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a settlement that was abandoned during the medieval period, with ridge-and-furrow field systems visible across the surrounding landscape. The physical evidence indicates occupation and agricultural use typical of medieval rural communities, though the specific circumstances of its desertion remain characteristic of the broader pattern of settlement shift and consolidation that affected many English villages during the later medieval period.
