Conksbury is a deserted medieval settlement located in Derbyshire, England, representing an example of rural depopulation that occurred during the later medieval period. The settlement comprises the remains of domestic structures and associated field systems that reflect the agricultural economy of the medieval community. Evidence from the site indicates occupation during the medieval period, with the settlement's abandonment forming part of the broader pattern of village desertion experienced across England from the fourteenth century onwards. The physical remains, visible as earthworks and archaeological features within the landscape, provide valuable evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Peak District region.
