Deserted village N of Washingley Park is a medieval settlement site located in Huntingdonshire. The village represents a deserted medieval village, a settlement that was abandoned during the medieval period, likely as a result of agricultural reorganisation, enclosure, or economic change common to many English settlements from the thirteenth century onwards. The site survives as earthworks and archaeological features in the landscape north of Washingley Park. Such deserted villages constitute important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns, land use, and the social and economic transformations that shaped the English countryside.
