Deserted Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument in Hampshire comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems alongside house platforms and other structural features that indicate a nucleated village layout typical of medieval agrarian communities. The abandonment of such settlements across England occurred for various reasons including economic shifts, plague, and enclosure movements, with many villages showing evidence of occupation from at least the Saxon period through to the late medieval era. The earthworks visible today represent a valuable archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and agricultural practice in Hampshire.
