Blatherwycke is a deserted medieval village site located in Northamptonshire. The settlement remains are visible as earthworks and ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns across the landscape, representing the physical traces of a community that was abandoned during the medieval period. The village follows a characteristic linear settlement pattern typical of medieval English villages, with evidence of former dwellings, tofts, and associated agricultural strips preserved as earthwork features. The site documents the broader phenomenon of village desertion that occurred across England, particularly from the thirteenth century onwards, resulting from economic change, plague, and enclosure movements.
