Deserted village of Stretton Baskerville is a medieval settlement site located in Warwickshire that was abandoned during the post-medieval period. The village is documented as existing in the medieval period but fell into decline, leaving behind earthwork remains and archaeological deposits that preserve evidence of its former occupation. The site represents a characteristic example of English village desertion, a phenomenon that affected numerous settlements from the fourteenth century onwards, often resulting from enclosure for pastoral farming or economic decline. The surviving archaeological features on the ground provide valuable evidence for understanding the layout and development of medieval rural settlement patterns in the Midlands.
