Overview

History & significance

The deserted village site at Fulbrook Farm in Buckinghamshire is a medieval settlement whose abandonment reflects the profound social and economic changes of the later medieval period. The site preserves earthwork remains indicative of former dwelling sites, agricultural terraces, and associated field systems that characterise nucleated village settlements of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The physical evidence suggests a community whose organisation and layout were typical of open-field agricultural communities before depopulation through enclosure or other disruption rendered the settlement unviable. Such deserted village sites constitute important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns, land use, and the processes of rural change in post-medieval England.
