Edlingham deserted village is a medieval settlement located in Northumberland, England, positioned near Edlingham Castle. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated village that was occupied during the medieval period, with archaeological and documentary evidence indicating settlement activity from at least the twelfth century onwards. The physical landscape reveals a characteristic pattern of tofts and crofts, the homestead plots and field divisions typical of medieval nucleated settlements, now preserved as earthworks across the site. The village's desertion occurred sometime in the post-medieval period, leaving behind the ground features that document settlement organisation and land use in this northern English landscape.
