Deserted Medieval Village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Buckinghamshire, England, representing the remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves archaeological evidence of domestic occupation and land use patterns characteristic of the High and Late Medieval periods, with earthworks and surface features indicating the former arrangement of tenements, roads, and field systems. Such deserted villages are significant archaeological resources for understanding medieval rural settlement, economy, and the social upheaval that led to depopulation in England, often resulting from agricultural reorganisation, plague, or enclosure. The monument's survival as upstanding earthworks makes it an important example for studying medieval village morphology and settlement patterns without the obscuring effects of continuous occupation.
