Deserted medieval village of Hodroyd, Felkirk is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising the archaeological remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves earthworks and field systems characteristic of nucleated village settlement patterns typical of the High and Later Medieval periods. The village's desertion reflects the broader processes of settlement reorganisation and depopulation that affected many English rural communities, particularly during the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries. The archaeological remains at Hodroyd survive as ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns and the structural footprints of former dwellings, providing evidence of medieval agricultural and domestic organisation in the Yorkshire landscape.
