Deserted medieval village in Bottisham Park is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement abandoned in the medieval period, located near Bottisham in Cambridgeshire. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field systems and structural platforms indicative of former dwellings and tofts characteristic of nucleated medieval settlement patterns. The village was likely depopulated during the period of agricultural reorganisation and enclosure that affected many English villages from the fourteenth century onwards. The earthworks survive as buried or sub-surface features within the park landscape, providing valuable archaeological evidence of medieval rural life and settlement desertion processes in East Anglia.
