The deserted village of Norton Sub Edge, located south-east of what is now Norton Sub Edge Farm near the Gloucestershire village of Norton sub Edge, is a medieval settlement whose earthwork remains survive as an ancient monument. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field systems and other landscape features characteristic of open-field agriculture, indicating organised medieval occupation and land management. The village represents one of numerous English settlements that were depopulated or abandoned during the late medieval period, a process linked to enclosure, economic change, and shifting land use patterns. The earthworks remain visible in the landscape as evidence of former domestic and agricultural activity, documenting the medieval occupation of this area of the Cotswolds.
