Coxhoe medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village site located approximately 170 metres south-west of East House Farm near Coxhoe in County Durham. The settlement is evidenced by earthwork remains and archaeological finds that indicate occupation during the medieval period, though the precise dates of establishment and desertion require further investigation. The site represents one of several medieval settlements in the Durham region that were eventually abandoned, reflecting broader patterns of settlement reorganisation and displacement during the later medieval period. The monument survives as an archaeological landscape that contributes to understanding rural settlement patterns and land use in medieval north-east England.
