Dunsby is a medieval deserted village site located in Lincolnshire. The settlement represents a typical example of the nucleated villages that characterised the medieval English landscape, with evidence of domestic occupation and agricultural organisation preserved in the earthworks and field patterns. The site dates to the medieval period, with the village having been abandoned during the post-medieval era, a process common to many rural settlements following economic and social changes. The physical remains, visible as earthwork features in the landscape, provide archaeological evidence of the settlement's former extent and organisation.
