Edlingham deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland, comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement that was occupied from the medieval period until its eventual desertion. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems alongside the structural foundations of former dwellings, providing material evidence of the settlement's agricultural base and domestic organisation. Edlingham represents an important example of the broader pattern of village depopulation that affected northern England during the later medieval period, offering archaeological insight into both the physical layout and economic practices of a small rural community before abandonment.
