Cogan Deserted Medieval Village is a deserted settlement located in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, which represents an important example of medieval rural habitation and subsequent abandonment patterns in South Wales. The site dates principally to the medieval period and comprises the earthwork remains of a village including settlement features characteristic of domestic occupation. The designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument reflects its archaeological significance in understanding medieval Welsh and Anglo-Norman settlement dynamics in the region. The physical remains visible today form part of the broader landscape evidence for medieval land use and the processes of village depopulation that affected parts of Wales during the later medieval and early modern periods.
