This deserted medieval farmstead and associated earthworks located 300 metres north west of Chalkhill Farm in Gloucestershire is a scheduled ancient monument recording settlement activity from the medieval period. The site comprises earthwork remains typical of abandoned rural habitation, including features such as building platforms, enclosures and field systems that reflect the agricultural organisation of a working farmstead. The earthworks evidence patterns of medieval land use and domestic settlement in the Gloucestershire countryside, contributing to understanding of rural settlement distribution and abandonment processes during the medieval era. The monument's survival as earthwork remains, rather than in standing structures, reflects the common fate of smaller medieval farms that were depopulated or relocated over the centuries.
