Overview

History & significance

Baggrave Deserted Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument in Leicestershire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement. The site consists of ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and the tofts and crofts characteristic of a nucleated village layout, dating to the medieval period. Like many English settlements, Baggrave was abandoned, likely during the period of agrarian change and enclosure that affected rural Leicestershire from the late medieval period onwards. The earthworks survive as surface features that preserve evidence of the former settlement's organisation and land use patterns.
