Deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Lincolnshire, England, representing the archaeological remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site preserves visible earthworks including house platforms, field systems, and the fragmentary remains of former dwellings, which provide evidence of rural settlement patterns and agricultural organisation in medieval England. Such deserted villages became prevalent from the fourteenth century onwards, frequently resulting from population decline, economic change, or enclosure of land for pastoral farming. The monument is of significant archaeological importance for understanding the social and economic history of the English countryside during and after the medieval period.
