The deserted village of Podem is a medieval settlement site located in Worcestershire, England. The village was abandoned during the medieval period, and its earthwork remains survive as evidence of former domestic occupation and settlement patterns. The site preserves physical features typical of deserted medieval villages, including ridge-and-furrow field systems and the degraded foundations or platforms of former dwellings and associated structures. Such sites are significant for understanding rural depopulation, agricultural practices, and settlement shifts that occurred across England during and after the medieval period.
