Deserted medieval village E of Manor Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Wiltshire, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement that was abandoned in the post-medieval period. The site preserves evidence of former habitation through surviving field systems, building platforms, and settlement patterns visible as soil marks and topographic features characteristic of deserted medieval villages. Such sites represent important archaeological records of medieval rural life, settlement organisation, and landscape use, particularly valuable for understanding processes of village abandonment and demographic change during the later medieval and early modern periods. The monument's preservation as earthworks rather than standing structures makes it dependent on archaeological survey and excavation for detailed understanding of its chronology and development.
