Deserted medieval village is a depopulated settlement site in Gloucestershire, England, representing the remains of a nucleated community that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves archaeological evidence of domestic occupation through earthwork features including house platforms, field systems, and associated landscape divisions typical of planned medieval villages. Such desertion commonly resulted from factors including the economic disruptions of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, agricultural reorganisation, or conversion of arable land to pastoral use.
