Deserted village (site of) is a medieval settlement site located in Huntingdonshire. The site represents the remains of a nucleated village that was abandoned, likely during the period of agrarian change in the later medieval period, when depopulation affected many English rural communities. The physical evidence of the settlement survives as earthworks and surface features that indicate former occupation, including the traces of house platforms, field systems, and possibly street layouts characteristic of medieval village organisation. Such deserted village sites are significant for understanding medieval settlement patterns, economic change, and the social upheaval that led to widespread rural abandonment in England between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries.
