Deserted medieval village of Ulnaby is a settlement site located in County Durham that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves archaeological evidence of domestic occupation and settlement patterns characteristic of the high medieval period, with earthworks and field systems remaining visible across the landscape. Like many deserted medieval villages in northern England, Ulnaby's abandonment reflects the economic and social upheavals of the later medieval period, possibly related to changes in land use, depopulation, or shifting agricultural practices. The surviving archaeological remains provide valuable evidence for understanding rural settlement and desertion in the medieval north of England.
