Egmere medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Norfolk, England. The site represents a settlement that was occupied during the medieval period but subsequently abandoned, a pattern common across East Anglia during the later medieval centuries. The settlement's remains are visible in the landscape as earthworks and surface features that indicate the former extent of habitation. Such desertion typically resulted from economic pressures, including the shift towards pastoral farming and the consolidation of landholdings during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
