Deserted village N of Washingley Park is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement located in Huntingdonshire. The site exhibits characteristic ridge-and-furrow field systems and settlement features typical of villages abandoned during the late medieval period, when economic and social pressures led to the depopulation of numerous English rural communities. The earthworks preserve evidence of former habitation patterns and agricultural organisation, offering archaeological insight into medieval settlement structure and the processes of village desertion. The monument's survival as upstanding earthworks makes it an important resource for understanding the medieval landscape and the factors that shaped patterns of settlement in this region.
