The deserted medieval hamlet east of Draycott is a dispersed settlement site located in Somerset, England, dating to the medieval period. The site represents evidence of rural habitation that was abandoned, leaving behind archaeological remains that contribute to the understanding of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region. The physical character of the monument consists of earthworks and potentially subsurface deposits associated with the former hamlet structures. Such deserted medieval settlements are significant for revealing shifts in population distribution and economic organisation during the later medieval period and the processes of depopulation that affected rural communities.
