Overview

History & significance

Deserted medieval village is a archaeological site in Hampshire, England, representing the remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves physical evidence of domestic occupation in the form of earthwork features, including house platforms and field systems that survive as surface irregularities across the landscape. Such deserted villages provide important archaeological testimony to patterns of settlement, agricultural organisation, and social change during the later medieval centuries, when various economic and social pressures led to the depopulation of many rural communities across England.
