Argam ancient village site is a deserted medieval village located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a settlement whose layout and structure reflect patterns of medieval rural habitation and land use. The village was abandoned at some point during the medieval period, leaving behind visible surface features including former house platforms, field boundaries, and associated agricultural traces that have been preserved in the landscape. Such deserted village sites provide valuable archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns, economic organisation, and the social changes that led to rural depopulation in post-medieval England.
