This deserted medieval site lies approximately 400 metres west of Okehampton camp in Devon and represents the remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The monument consists of earthwork features characteristic of medieval habitation, including the ground plans of former dwellings and associated field systems. Such deserted medieval villages are significant archaeological resources for understanding settlement patterns, land use, and social organisation in medieval Devon, particularly during the period of economic and demographic change in the later medieval centuries. The site's proximity to Okehampton camp situates it within a landscape shaped by both medieval settlement and later military development.
