Lancaut deserted village is a medieval settlement located in Gloucestershire, positioned in the Forest of Dean near the Wye valley. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a village that was inhabited during the medieval period, with archaeological evidence suggesting occupation spanning several centuries. The surviving features include house platforms, trackways, and field systems that reveal the layout and organisation of the former community. The abandonment of the settlement reflects patterns of medieval depopulation common to many English villages, particularly during the later medieval period when economic and social changes led to the desertion of marginal settlements.
