Deserted medieval manorial settlement of Cossington is a medieval archaeological site located in Kent, England. The settlement represents a typical example of the manorial organisation that characterised English rural life during the medieval period, with evidence of occupation and settlement activity spanning the medieval centuries. The site has been identified through archaeological survey and documentary sources, which together attest to its former significance as a functioning manorial complex. The abandonment of such settlements, whether through economic change, plague, or other medieval upheaval, provides valuable evidence for understanding the transformation of the English countryside during the late medieval period.
