Frisby medieval village remains is a deserted medieval settlement located in Leicestershire. The site preserves archaeological evidence of medieval occupation, including earthwork features characteristic of a nucleated village plan that developed during the medieval period. The remains are testament to the pattern of rural settlement and land use in the East Midlands during the medieval centuries, and the site's abandonment reflects the broader processes of village desertion that affected numerous English settlements, particularly during and after the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The earthworks and associated archaeological deposits retain significant potential for understanding medieval village organisation, domestic life, and the economic factors that led to settlement contraction and eventual depopulation.
