Deserted village at Wintringham is a medieval settlement site located in Huntingdonshire that was abandoned, likely during the period of agrarian change in the later medieval period. The site contains the earthwork remains of former tenements, tofts, and associated field systems that reflect the village's layout and land use patterns prior to its desertion. Archaeological and historical evidence indicates the settlement was occupied during the medieval period, with the visible earthworks preserving evidence of domestic and agricultural organisation typical of medieval village communities. The deserted village represents an important archaeological resource for understanding patterns of rural settlement change and population movement in medieval England.
