Baggrave Deserted Medieval Village is a settlement site in Leicestershire that was abandoned during the medieval period. The village survives as earthworks and ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns visible in the landscape, evidence of its former occupation and agricultural use. Like many English villages, Baggrave was depopulated during the late medieval period, likely through a combination of economic changes and enclosure of land for sheep farming. The site retains considerable archaeological potential and remains an important record of rural medieval settlement patterns in the East Midlands.
