Deserted medieval village at Great Palgrave is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement abandoned during or shortly after the medieval period. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems alongside structural foundations and property boundaries that illustrate the layout and agricultural practices of a medieval rural community. Located in Norfolk, the village represents one of numerous deserted settlements in East Anglia that were depopulated through economic and social changes characteristic of the late medieval and early modern periods. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of domestic occupation and land use patterns that would otherwise be inaccessible to historical study.
