Deserted Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument in Buckinghamshire comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves archaeological evidence of former dwellings, field systems, and settlement patterns typical of villages depopulated through processes of enclosure or economic change between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. The visible earthworks include house platforms, hollow ways, and ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns that document the physical layout and agricultural organisation of the former community. Such deserted villages represent important archaeological witnesses to medieval rural life and the social transformations that reshaped the English countryside in the later medieval period.
