The Deserted Medieval Village south-east of Letton Hall is a scheduled ancient monument situated in Norfolk, representing the remains of a settlement that was abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves earthwork evidence of the village layout, including the characteristic ridge and furrow patterns of medieval agricultural activity alongside structural remains of domestic occupation. Such deserted medieval villages became common across England from the fourteenth century onwards, resulting from economic pressures, changes in land use, and population decline. The survival of these earthworks at Letton provides archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and agricultural practices in late medieval Norfolk.
