Broomsthorpe Deserted Medieval Village is a medieval settlement site located in Norfolk, England, representing the remains of a community that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves evidence of domestic occupation and settlement patterns typical of Norfolk villages from the medieval era, with visible earthworks and archaeological features that indicate the former layout of houses and field systems. Like many deserted medieval villages across England, Broomsthorpe was likely depopulated through a combination of economic and social pressures that affected rural communities during the later medieval period. The site remains of archaeological interest as a record of everyday medieval life and the processes of settlement change in East Anglia.
