Deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument in Norfolk comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns and building platforms typical of nucleated village settlements, evidence of domestic and agricultural occupation. The monument dates from the medieval period, with abandonment likely occurring in response to economic or social pressures common to Norfolk during the later medieval centuries. The earthworks represent an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in East Anglia.
