Deserted Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument in Lincolnshire comprising the remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves earthwork evidence of former dwellings, field systems, and settlement infrastructure that reflects the layout and organisation of village life during the Middle Ages. Such deserted villages are significant for understanding medieval rural economy, settlement patterns, and the social upheaval, whether through enclosure, plague, or economic change, that led to their abandonment. The physical remains visible at the site provide archaeological evidence for the study of medieval domestic life and agrarian practice in the East Midlands region.
