Deserted medieval village of Northeye is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex, south-west of Old Road Farm, comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement that was inhabited during the medieval period. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field systems and toft platforms characteristic of medieval agricultural settlement and domestic organisation. The desertion of the village, like many such settlements across southern England, occurred during the later medieval period, though the precise circumstances and chronology of abandonment at Northeye remain to be fully established through archaeological investigation. The monument represents an important survival of medieval rural settlement evidence and contributes to understanding patterns of medieval habitation and land use in the Sussex landscape.
