Boythorpe settlement site is a dispersed medieval settlement located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of former dwellings and associated agricultural features characteristic of nucleated settlement patterns common in the medieval period. Archaeological survey and documentary evidence indicate occupation during the medieval era, with the settlement subsequently abandoned, leaving visible ridge-and-furrow cultivation remains and house platforms across the landscape. The site represents important evidence of rural settlement organisation and the subsequent desertion of medieval villages, a phenomenon widely documented across northern England.
