The deserted village of Norton Sub Edge is a medieval settlement situated south-east of White's Farm in Gloucestershire, now known as Norton Sub Edge Farm. The site represents the remains of a nucleated village that was abandoned, likely during the late medieval period as part of the broader processes of rural depopulation that affected the English countryside. The visible archaeological features consist of earthworks including house platforms, tofts, and field systems that preserve evidence of the former settlement pattern and agricultural organisation. The monument is scheduled as an ancient monument, recognising its significance as a source of evidence for understanding medieval settlement, economy, and the circumstances of village desertion in the Cotswold region.
