Cold Hanworth is a deserted medieval settlement and associated field system located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated village settlement alongside evidence of medieval open field cultivation, including ridge and furrow patterns that reflect the agricultural practices of the period. The settlement appears to have been established during the medieval period and was subsequently abandoned, leaving behind a palimpsest of earthwork features that document both domestic occupation and the surrounding agrarian landscape. These remains are valuable for understanding settlement patterns and land use practices in medieval Lincolnshire, a region characterised by significant medieval settlement activity and later depopulation.
