The deserted medieval village at King's Hill is a scheduled ancient monument located in Warwickshire, England, representing a settlement that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves earthwork remains characteristic of nucleated village settlement, including former house platforms, field systems, and associated landscape features that document the physical organisation of medieval rural life. The monument dates to the medieval period, with the desertion likely resulting from the economic and social changes that affected English villages from the fourteenth century onwards. The survival of these earthwork remains provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding the layout, development, and ultimate abandonment of a medieval English community.
