Coatham Mundeville is a deserted medieval village settlement located in County Durham. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated village plan, together with associated fishponds and extensive areas of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation that survive as soil marks and subtle topographic features across the landscape. The village appears to have been abandoned during the medieval period, with the earthworks preserving evidence of former dwelling plots, field systems, and the management of water resources typical of medieval agrarian settlement. The site provides important archaeological evidence for understanding the pattern of rural settlement and agricultural practice in medieval Durham.
