Cottam medieval settlement and cultivation terraces is a deserted medieval village site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated settlement together with extensive ridge and furrow cultivation terraces that surround it, representing the physical legacy of medieval agrarian organisation. The site dates to the medieval period, with the settlement and its associated agricultural landscape forming part of the broader pattern of medieval rural settlement and land use characteristic of northern England. The preservation of both settlement and field systems in earthwork form provides evidence of medieval village life and the intensive exploitation of the agricultural landscape during this period.
