Gomeldon deserted village is a medieval settlement remains located in Wiltshire, England, whose abandonment and subsequent archaeological visibility make it a significant example of village desertion in the English countryside. The site preserves earthwork evidence of the medieval settlement pattern, including field systems and structural platforms that indicate the former extent and organisation of the community. The village was likely depopulated during the later medieval period, a phenomenon common across England and resulting from various factors including economic change and land use reorganisation. The surviving archaeological remains provide important evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns and the processes of rural change in southern England.
