Kelmarsh medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village site located in Northamptonshire. The settlement remains visible as earthworks in the landscape, comprising the characteristic ridge and furrow patterns and structural platforms that denote former occupation. The site dates to the medieval period, with evidence suggesting sustained settlement before depopulation, likely linked to the enclosure movement and agricultural reorganisation of the post-medieval era. These physical remains constitute an important archaeological record of rural medieval life and the transformations that reshaped the English countryside during and after the middle ages.
