The deserted village of Barton is a medieval settlement site located in Northumberland, England. The village was abandoned during the medieval period, likely as a result of the economic and social upheaval that affected many English rural communities during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Archaeological and topographical evidence, including earthwork remains and field patterns, documents the former extent of the settlement. The site is designated as a heritage monument in recognition of its significance for understanding medieval village life and the processes of settlement desertion in northern England.
