Deserted medieval settlement at Lower Barpham Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval village settlement. The site preserves ridge and furrow ploughland and associated settlement features that evidence occupation and agricultural activity during the medieval period. The desertion of the settlement reflects broader patterns of rural depopulation affecting English villages from the late medieval period onwards, when economic and social pressures led communities to be abandoned or significantly reduced. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Sussex landscape.
