Kirby Grindalythe medieval settlement earthworks is a deserted medieval village site located immediately southwest of St Andrew's Church in Yorkshire, England. The earthworks comprise the physical remains of a settlement that was inhabited during the medieval period, preserving ridge and furrow field systems and the characteristic tofts and crofts that define the layout of a planned or organic medieval community. The site demonstrates the pattern of medieval rural settlement and land use practices that characterise the Yorkshire landscape, and its proximity to the parish church reflects the typical relationship between religious and secular settlement structures. The earthworks represent an important archaeological record of medieval habitation and land management in northern England.
