Earthworks of deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the physical remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period, located in Huntingdonshire. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems, hollow ways, and structural platforms that mark the locations of former dwellings and ancillary buildings, evidence typical of nucleated medieval villages that were depopulated through enclosure, plague, or economic change. The earthworks date to the medieval period, with abandonment likely occurring between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. Such monuments are valuable archaeological resources for understanding medieval settlement patterns, land management practices, and the social transformations that reshaped the English landscape during the late medieval and early modern transition.
