Barbury Castle Farm is a deserted medieval village site located in Wiltshire, England, situated within the landscape of the Marlborough Downs. The settlement dates to the medieval period and is represented today by earthwork remains including ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and structural features that indicate former habitation and agricultural use. The site's desertion, like many villages across southern England, likely occurred during the late medieval period when economic and social factors led to the abandonment of rural settlements. The village forms part of the broader archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns in Wiltshire and contributes to understanding the historical development of the region's countryside.
